The Chilean Multinational Arauco Will Make an Investment of R$ 61.9 Billion in the Pulp Sector in Brazil, Promising Jobs and Strong Growth in the Industry.
The Chilean giant Arauco is heavily investing in Brazil, with a project that marks the largest investment in the company’s history. Located in Mato Grosso do Sul, the new pulp plant is expected to produce 3.5 million tons per year and create over 6,000 direct jobs. This project represents a significant advancement for the pulp industry in Brazil and reflects the growth of pulp production in the country, which consolidated itself as the largest producer and exporter in the world in 2022.
The Sucuriú Project
The new factory, called the Sucuriú Project, is being built in Inocência (MS) and will have an investment of approximately US$ 4.6 billion.
The construction is already underway, with the earthworks phase in progress. The plant is expected to start operating in the second half of 2027.

Arauco, which operates in more than 75 countries, sees Brazil as a strategic location for expansion, considering the favorable conditions for eucalyptus cultivation and the available infrastructure to transport production.
The Importance of the Forestry Sector
Mato Grosso do Sul is an important hub for the pulp industry, with a growth of 15% in the area of planted forests compared to the previous year.
Currently, the state has 1.5 million hectares designated for eucalyptus cultivation, essential for pulp production.
According to data from the SIGA/MS Project, the state stands out due to the presence of several companies in the sector, attracting significant investments totaling R$ 75 billion.
The choice of Mato Grosso do Sul for Arauco’s new plant is due to these factors, as well as its public policy favorable to the sector.
Arauco’s Vision
Theófilo Militao, Director of Sustainability and Institutional Relations at Arauco do Brasil, states that the decision to invest in Brazil is based on the structural conditions of the state.
He emphasizes that the company has been present in Brazil since 2002, operating in the forestry and wood panel sectors.
With the construction of the new pulp factory, Arauco aims to diversify its operations and strengthen its market presence.
The company has a solid history in Brazil and is committed to contributing to the development of the sector.
The Future of Pulp in Brazil
The expansion of Arauco in Mato Grosso do Sul is a reflection of Brazil’s potential in the global pulp market.
With an investment of R$ 61.9 billion by 2028, the Brazilian pulp industry continues to grow, significantly contributing to the local and national economy.
The state government is focused on improving logistics and infrastructure to support this growth.
The expectation is that Arauco’s new plant will not only strengthen pulp production but also promote economic and social development in the region.
With Arauco’s arrival and the significant investment in pulp, Brazil further solidifies its position as a global leader in the production and export of this product. The Chilean company, with its ambitious project, is ready to play an important role in transforming the pulp sector in the country.
