In 2009, Fibria and International Paper form a partnership to build the "Horizonte 1” paper and cellulose factory in Três Lagoas. Production capacity: 1.3 25 million tons of cellulose. In 2017, Fibria expanded with a new production factory, Horizonte 2, also in Três Lagoas. In 2018, Fibria announced its merger with Suzano Papel e Celulose. In 2019, this transaction was completed and Fibria was renamed Suzano Papel and Cellulose. Previously, the factories were called Horizonte 1 and Horizonte 2, but with the change of control to Suzano Papel e Celulose, the names were changed. Suzano Papel e Celulose obtained a US$9.2 billion loan from the National Bank for Economic and Social Development to buy Fibria.

The Indigenous Land is declared by the Brazilian State, however, it has not yet been demarcated. The Ofayé-Xavante Indigenous Land is located in the municipality of Brasilândia, near the municipality of Três Lagoas, but it suffers from the effects of eucalyptus.

Only the agrarian reform settlements have their rights recognized; the other rural communities do not.

There are reports of pesticide use, impacts on food production, and water-related issues, resulting in territorial conflicts between the company and communities.

There are reports of families being expelled due to the expansion of eucalyptus cultivation and as a result of the intensive use of pesticides. According to Dubos Raoul and Almeida (2022: 54-55): "In 2000, Arapuá had 1,911 inhabitants, while in 2010, its population decreased to 1,697. Garcias had 2,301 inhabitants in 2000, and in 2010, it had only 2,070 inhabitants. In 2020, the population of Arapuá was estimated at 1,586, and that of Garcias at 1,967, representing, respectively, a loss of 17% for Arapuá and 15% for Garcias compared to the period 2000-2020." However, there is no estimate of how many people have been displaced.

Since the pulp mills settled in Três Lagoas a decade ago, uncontrolled fires, decreased biodiversity, contamination of rivers and groundwater, rampant use of pesticides, and expulsion of local communities have become routine in the region. With the arrival of the company and the expansion of eucalyptus cultivation, rural schools are deserted, all surrounded by eucalyptus. Furthermore, previously, land use was for livestock farming, and the population obtained its income through this activity. Now there is no longer a market for this labor force. There are reports of families being expelled due to the expansion of eucalyptus cultivation and as a result of the intensive use of pesticides. There is a loss of socialization spaces. Another impact is the increase in land prices in the municipality.

Job creation, which was not realized.

Large farms for cattle ranching.

calvareza: Numbers quoted are owned not by single companies but grouped by origin of the capital. They might be duplicated with “from the original matrix” numbers and distorts numeric results and analyzes. There is no way to verify if there is or isn´t duplication. All 3 cases are based on the article "Mais de 4 milhões de hectares nas mãos de estrangeiros ", by Lucio Vaz, in Correio Braziliense, June 2010. In short the source said, based in official data quoted by president Lula, that 4,3 million hectares in Brazil are is owned by foreigners (China, Japan, Europe, US, Korea and Arabic countries, for grain, cotton, sugar cane, eucalyptus for cellulose). Data are official, it means these investments may be immoral but not illegal. The newspaper article doen´t give any information that leads us to think that is land grabbing as we define it, nor if these land aquisition is recent or indicates capital flow from one region to another. Tricky… Import of error check - Reviewer's overview comment: As case number 756, with the same source, this one is problematic because information is not precise enough to be checked. In this cause, the investor's nationality is not indicated. The only information is the region: Ribas do Rio Pardo, in the Mato Grosso do Sul. Let me notice that the state of Mato Grosso is the domain of the new "soybean king" (in the place of Erai Maggi Scheffer, from Bom Futuro group): argentin enterprise El Tejar. It owns 150 000 ha in the state and rent other 150 000. See: http://www.farmlandgrab.org/post/view/19261 the first source explain near over 51,000 hectares in foreigner hands producing cane and soy, but the most large case found is this one with 150,000 hectares of land in hands of Votorantim
