The document discusses Brazil's forest plantations and their role in agriculture and carbon sequestration. It notes that plantations are considered tree agriculture and the majority are certified. It describes how plantations integrate with agriculture through agroforestry systems. Plantations provide wood and other services, sequestering over 1 billion tons of carbon annually. They generate many jobs and economic development. Key pulp and paper producers worldwide are listed, showing Brazil as a top global producer. Future trends discussed include developing forest carbon trade and using new technologies like biotechnology to increase productivity sustainably.

17. Cenibra - A Japanese Investment in the
Brazilian Pulp and Paper Sector
• Cenibra was founded in 1973 in the State of Minas Gerais.
• Since 2001, the company is controlled by Japan Brazil Paper and
Pulp Resources Development (JBP).
• Cenibra operates in 54 municipalities where develops a great
number of socio environmental projects.
• The total managed forest area of the company is 257 thousand
hectares: 60% for eucalyptus plantations and 40% for preservation
(Legal Reserve and Permanent Protection Areas).
• Production capacity of 1.2 million tonnes per year of BHKP which
represents 12% of Brazilian market pulp total production.
• Large part of exports are made through the Portocel port located in
Barra do Riacho (ES) and represents 14% of total market pulp
exported.
• Nowadays, Asia is the mainly imported market.

18. Future Trends and Challenges
Forest Carbon Trade
The Climate Change and Rio+20 Conferences should
create a mechanism to trade Forest Carbon Credits.
The P&P industry is discussing with the government
and global players additionality and time-based
criteria for forest carbon.
Brazil sold forest carbon credits pursuant to the
Kyoto Protocol for the first time in 2010. Plantations
for charcoal, avoiding the use of mineral coal.

22. Why use Biotechnology?
• Several countries are eager to begin dialogue
regarding tree biotechnology
• Plantations will continue increase their participation
in the world wood market.
• A process-based approach of forest productivity is
needed to establish the BMP (Best Management
Practices) for Plantations.
• Forest productivity can be easily harmed for
innumerous pests and diseases.
• New silvicultural, genetic and protection
technologies to sustain or enhance forest
productivity need to be continuously investigated.
• Forest education and extension need to be improved.
• Biotechnology will allow to produce more in less area
and use less resources for instance water.
