Insights on the Changes Operated in Forest Value-
Chain Management in South America
26 September 2014
Presentation Topics
• Overview forestry sector in South America
• Future trends in the forestry sector in South America
• Brazilian forestry sector highlights and forest management by
Fibria Pulp
Overview forest sector in South Am.
• The Amazon rainforest occupies 30,9% of the area of the
South American continent, including territory belonging to
nine nations
• This presentation will not focus on the Amazon
rainforest management and wood products, but on
planted forests
• The first commercial forest plantations started in the
early 1900´s, with the main purpose to supply wood
sleepers for the railways and also firewood for the trains
• Since the 60´s the forest industry started to rely on
planted forests to grow and generate products (pulp,
sawnwood, wood charcoal, etc.)
• The two main species planted were Pinus spp. (tropical
pine from Central America and radiata pine and loblolly
pine from North America) and Eucalyptus spp. (from
Australia)

History of forest sector in South Am.
• For the successful establishment of the forest industry the
Government played an important role implementing forestry
legislation and giving financial support (tax incentives, etc.)
for the entrepreneurs and investors
• The Universities and Research Centres played the main
role to adapt the exotic tree species and improve
productivity, through tree breeding programs and developing
forest management techniques (nursery, silviculture,
harvesting, etc.)
• The international benchmarking was also important, where
researchers from South America (mainly Brazil and Chile)
visited other nations with tradition in Forestry (USA,
Germany, Australia, Finland, Sweden, New Zealand, South
Africa) to learn new techniques
5
History of forest sector in South Am.
• Development of good forestry technical skills was very important for the development of
the sector, therefore the implementation of Forestry Schools was crucial for this process

Planted Forests Development in South America (mainly Brazil and Chile)
Eco-efficient forest management
The importance of involving all the different stakeholders in the forestry value chain
12
• No place for companies doing their business alone without interacting actively with the communities and all stakeholders where they operate
• Great loss comes from not doing this:
o In 2008 Aracruz (now Fibria) in Brazil lost 10,000 ha of plantations nearby their pulp mill to the Indians´ community (the Government requested the company to transfer the land)
o A person unhappy with a big forestry company in Chile initiated a criminal forest fire that burned 5,000 ha of planted forests in Dec/2011, also destroying a laminated lumber factory
• Certification helps but it is not enough, we need fulltime skillful employees doing this P.R. work

in South America in the last 11 years: Roundwood, Sawnwood, Wood
chips and particles, Wood residues, Wood-based panels
• 30% increase in volume production in 11 years. 88% of the production
is concentrated in the top 4 countries (Brazil, Chile, Argentina,
Colombia). That are also in the top 5 economies in the continent

Forest ownership is changing …
Past - Current Model
Forestry industry controls the land and forest.
Forestry industry leases land and plants the forest.
Partnership between forest industries.
Outgrower scheme (with technical support)
Current - Future Model
Evolution of the current model.
Build clusters in different regions.
Attract small investors
(farmers, private investors, etc).
Consider the hypothesis that the forest base
doesn’t need to be a fixed asset (cost of
capital > return).
Consider that in the future it will have a
steady state between wood production and
consumption.
Attracts institutional investors - TIMOs
(insurance companies and pension funds).
Focus on the core business (pulp&paper, etc.)
Keep and control a strategic resource&
Reduce cost of capital
Objective: secure the raw material with known costs and in a market of wood scarcity Objective: secure the raw material as part of
a known cost in a stable and balanced wood market
A transition is happening in the model of land and forest ownership

The time when available timberland was cheap, the wood cost was low and the yields wereincreasing rapidly year after year is over. Therefore pulp companies and forest owners aresearching for other options to add value to their business
One of the options being studied is to generate biofuel and chemicals from wood and forestresidues. Transforming pulp mills into bio-refineries

Innovation in log transportation
In the Fibria Forestry Implement Project (FFIP), the company invested in R&D to develop a new trailer to
transport logs. The prototype was successfully tested and by the end of 2014 the company will have 25
trucks with the new trailers (tri-train system – composition of 3 trailers). Fibria is getting a patent for the
FFIP.
