Seedling nursery
Located in the city of Andradina
(SP), the Eldorado Brasil forestry
nursery occupies a built area of
159,000 m² and has a produc-
tion capacity of approximately 28
million seedlings a year. Eldorado
also acquires seedlings from the
market. While maintaining high
levels of quality and efficiency, the
nursery has also been steadily re-
ducing production costs. The target
for 2017 is to reach a production
cost 8.5% lower than the
market price.

Planting
Eldorado ended 2016 with
239,000 hectares of eucalyptus
forest in Mato Grosso do Sul, with
40,000 hectares planted in 2016.
In a differentiated format, the
company combines its own plant-
ing areas with areas leased from
partners on 14-year contracts,
the equivalent to two production
cycles.

Timber transportation
In 2016, the timber transportation
sector was totally insourced. An
average of 5.6 million m3 of tim-
ber is transported to the storage
patio at the Três Lagoas plant per
year. During the year, the aver-
age distance between the planted
areas and the industrial complex
was around 274 km, optimizing
costs and reducing environmental
impacts.

Industrial process
In the Três Lagoas pulp mill, the
wood chips are cooked, producing
an unbleached pulp. This brown-
stock then undergoes a specific
bleaching chemical treatment.
After this, the pulp is dried and cut
into sheets, which are stacked in
bales and units. In 2016, the plant
reached a production record of
1,638,000 metric tons.

Harvest
With a highly trained team and
state-of-the-art equipment, the
harvest area fells the timber and
removes the bark and branches
from the trees for use as soil
fertilizer. Already highly mecha-
nized, a project in partnership with
Eldorado suppliers aims at further
elevating the level of excellence in
the harvest process and reducing
costs for the company.
Logistics
In the last stage of the process,
the units are transported to the
company-owned port terminal in
Santos (SP), inaugurated in 2015,
or to other ports around the
country. With 90% of production
destined for the overseas market,
Eldorado pulp is exported to more
than 50 countries either in bulk
shipments or in containers.View entire presentation
