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 whichrepresents 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.

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.

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.
