Deal #10500

The data provided by the National Rural Registry System (SNCR) does not indicate the amount of area designated for the production of the enterprise. According to the Brazilian Forest Code (2012), an area must be designated as a legal reserve.

The amount of hectares described above was obtained from the National Rural Registry System (SNCR), which is managed by the National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA), meaning it corresponds to the area controlled by the company through purchase. There are two issues that need to be highlighted: The data from the National Rural Registry System (SNCR) are official; however, the methodology for obtaining this data is based on self-declaration. State oversight is not common. There are reports that the company also leases land. It is not possible to determine the amount of leased land.

As mentioned earlier, the company began operations in the municipality of São Mateus in the 20th century, under the name Aracruz Celulose. In 2009, Aracruz was acquired by the Votorantim Group, creating the company Fibria, and in 2019, Fibria was acquired by Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.'s expansion is continuous, meaning new lands are added to its portfolio each year.
