In 2017 and 2018 the wood and paper sector recuperated from the crisis of the 2014-2015 period and this recovery intensified the consolidation of the sector. Momentum was also increased by high pulp prices on the international market in 2017 and 2018, which stimulated the appetite of large foreign players for entering Brazil or expanding their existing capacities, lured by the competitive advantages that the country holds in this particular sector – such as favourable climatic conditions and high forest productivity.
