2 Description of the Supply Base

2.1 General description The acácia (Acacia mearsnsii) was introduced in Rio Grande do Sul State, at 1918, by Alexandre Bleckmann, Industry Company Director in the São Leopoldo municipality. Mr. Alexandre has planted (as a test) about 700 trees for energy use and, the first commercial plantation was introduced by Mr. Julio C. Lohamnn with 1000 trees of acácia in Estrela Municipality. Since then, the acacia is planted commercially in Rio Grande do Sul to tannin production, from bark and used in tannery and power energy. Over the years, the plantation were expanded with different uses to the Wood, as pulp and construction, and the productive chain was installed.

The acacia plantation’s in Rio Grande do Sul has important social issues due the most part of acacia plantation belongs to the independent small forest holders. The wood and bark from acacia are the main source of income. Nowadays there are more than 35.000 families that has as main source of income the results of production and sale of acacia plantation or related activities, as seed production, planting, harvesting and transport, among others. The acácia rotation is about 6, 7 years, a forest activity that preserves the soil and enriches the soil with the symbiosis.

The acacia wood is used for cellulose production, for charcoal production, in building constructions, for wood panels production and energy. In recent years, the wood chips segment expands your operating increasing the supply to the Japanese market and others markets as, Europe, Coréia do Sul, India and China. The acacia plantations are located in the middle south of Rio Grande do Sul.

In 1948, in Rio Grande do Sul, was set up TANAC S.A, and the Tanac Pellets Unity is a wood pellets producer in Rio Grande Municipality (located in south of Rio Grande do Sul). The plant has a capacity of 400.000 t. Tanac Pellets is located near the port of Rio Grande and is receiving feedstock from different suppliers by trucks. The list of suppliers consists of small forest owners, holding and own forest. The feedstock is essential by wood chip.

The 100% of feedstock comes from of Rio Grande do Sul State and the origin of supply come from:

- Own Forest and term lease (Tanagro): Montenegro, Triunfo, Camaquã, Canguçu, Chuvisca, Cristal, Pedro Osório, Amaral Ferrador, Cachoeira do Sul, Dom Feliciano, Encruzilhada do Sul, Piratini, Arroio Grande, Bagé, Candiota, Cerrito, Dom Pedrito, Herval, Jaguarão, Pinheiro Machado e Piratini.

- Suppliers: Amaral Ferrador;; Arroio dos Ratos;; Bagé;; Barão do Triunfo;; Butiá;; Cachoeira do Sul;; Camaquã, Candiota;; Canguçu;; Cerro Grande do Sul;; Chuvisca;; Cristal;; Dom Feliciano;; Encruzilhada do Sul;; Montenegro;; Pedras Altas;; Piratini;; São Jerônimo;; São Lourenço do Sul;; Sentinela do Sul;; Sertão Santana;; Tabai;; Tapes;; Taquari;; Triunfo;; Turuçu.

All data presented in this report take 2017 as reference. In figures 1 and 2 below, it is possible observe the localization of Rio Grande do Sul State, in Brazil, and the distribution of areas planted with acacia in State.

Figura 2: Distribution of areas planted with acácia in Rio Grande do Sul. Source: AGEFLOR e CONSUFOR.

Encruzilhada do Sul is the municipality more important in terms of planted area of acácia - 22,5 % of total área. The acácia plantations are concentrated, being present in 84 municipalities of the 497 municipalities (17 % of total).

Rio Grande do Sul State



Figure 4: Supply regions - TANAC – RS.

In figures above, figures 3 and 4, are presented the company’s production áreas (own planted areas) and the supply regions of TANAC (suppliers’ areas).

The forest management carried by TANAGRO consists of forest activities and composed by own properties distributed into 20 (twenty) municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul State. The company also develops forest partnerships with producers of acácia (Acacia mearnsii).



Picture 1: Acacia mearnsii plantation

The silvicultural practices (own activities and forest partnership) aim the establishment of acacia forest, which is one fast-growing specie and sensitive to weed competition. The company has a seedling nursery installed Triunfo, RS to produce the forest seedlings.

The plantation establishment involves: soil preparation (mechanical control by hand-pulling, subsoiling, harrowing), control leafcutter ants, planting and fertilising. The control ants is very important due the widespread of leafcutter ant (Acromyrmex sp.). The maintenance activities of second through seventh year are restricted to the monitoring and pest control.

The rotation adopted for the company is 7 (seven) years, take into account the quality of produtcs – wood and bark, the increasing of tannin content and wood density over the years. The harvesting (machine based and manual) begins with the harvesting plan and is finished on timber yard (stacked wood on the roadside) to transport to industry.
