Suzano Launches Development Plan for Ribas do Rio Pardo in Mato Grosso do Sul

Suzano has announced a comprehensive development plan for the municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo (MS), reinforcing its long-term commitment to regional growth alongside the operation of its new pulp mill.

The initiative is closely linked to Suzano’s Cerrado Project, one of the largest private industrial investments in Brazil, which established the world’s largest single-line eucalyptus pulp mill in the region.

The development plan focuses on social, economic, and infrastructure initiatives, aimed at strengthening local communities and supporting sustainable regional development. Key areas include improvements in public services, housing, education, healthcare, and urban infrastructure.

Suzano highlighted that the program is designed to ensure that the rapid industrial expansion in Ribas do Rio Pardo translates into long-term benefits for local residents, fostering inclusive growth and improved quality of life.

The company has already played a significant role in the region’s transformation, with the pulp mill project generating thousands of jobs during construction and creating ongoing employment opportunities across industrial and forestry operations.

In addition to economic impact, the development plan aligns with Suzano’s broader sustainability strategy, emphasizing responsible resource management, community engagement, and environmental stewardship.

With operations at Ribas do Rio Pardo now contributing significantly to Suzano’s production capacity and global supply, the company continues to position the site as a benchmark for efficiency, scale, and sustainable industrial development in the pulp and paper sector.
