Mother Company: Fazenda Floresta Exploração Florestal, Agrícola e Pecuária Ltda., Brazil — a family-owned agriculture and forestry business established in 1976. With nearly five decades of experience in sustainable land management, the company has built a long tradition of responsible forestry, soil stewardship, and rural development.
Expansion to Mozambique: In July 2024, the company created its Mozambican subsidiary with the objective of establishing a large-scale, sustainable forest operation that integrates eucalyptus and pine plantations with environmental conservation and local economic development.
Current Footprint:
About 3000 hectares under management.
Greenfield investment: Over 400 hectares already planted.
The project is designed to build a modern, profitable but resilient forestry operation that contributes to climate goals, biodiversity protection, and long-term prosperity for surrounding communities.
