With Investments In Cellulose Production, Mato Grosso Do Sul Has Two Large Companies And The State Government To Stand Out Internationally In The Industrial Area
In Mato Grosso do Sul, cellulose production grew when Suzano settled in the state. Considered one of the largest paper mills, Suzano established itself in Três Lagoas in 2009 – at the time called Fibria – with a production capacity of around 1.3 million tons of cellulose per year. However, in 2012, Eldorado Brasil began operations in Mato Grosso do Sul, with a production capacity of 1.7 million tons of cellulose. Eldorado Brasil has a manufacturing unit in Três Lagoas and has more than 200 thousand hectares of planted forests in Mato Grosso do Sul, with about 5.2 thousand employees, in addition to providing more than 150 jobs for immediate start.

Suzano’s Expansion Strategies And New Investments
Suzano, in turn, recently announced that it will install a new factory in Ribas do Rio Pardo. According to the cellulose production giant, the future project, which already totals around R$ 14.7 billion in investments, is considered one of the largest private projects ongoing in Brazil and, when completed, will be the largest manufacturing unit in terms of cellulose production in the world.
Named the ‘Cerrado Project,’ the unit is expected to become a reference due to its strategic geographic location in Mato Grosso do Sul, in addition to having the capacity to expand its cellulose production by approximately 20%.

Environmental Preservation And Job Creation
The new Suzano venture estimates that around 10 thousand direct jobs will be generated during the construction of the factory, in addition to more than 3 thousand positions that will arise at the end of the works, where outsourced staff and internal workers will be hired to stimulate the economic chain of the region.
Moreover, Suzano’s new manufacturing unit will contribute to increased distribution and generation of renewable energy in Brazil and, consequently, will be the first factory in the paper and cellulose sector in the country free from the use of fossil fuels, promoting sustainability.
According to Governor Reinaldo Azambuja (PSDB), his administration has made sure to prepare Mato Grosso do Sul to become a place with ample business opportunities and job creation.
The governor also emphasized that he made various investments in infrastructure to ensure competitiveness for state commodities. In addition, the governor highlighted the state’s tax incentive program, which has generated thousands of job openings and attracted more industries to the regions, ensuring that the pace of economic growth is uniform throughout the state.
The City Of Três Lagoas Is A Reference In Cellulose
The city of Três Lagoas is known worldwide as the “World Capital of Cellulose.” In 2020, Eldorado Brasil exported about 48% of its production to Asian countries, closing the year with a net profit of R$ 641 million. Currently, Três Lagoas is responsible for 50% of the industrial exports of Mato Grosso do Sul, including cellulose and soybean meal.
