The largest dynamic forest fair in the world was featured in Globo Rural Magazine. The article by journalist Eliane Silva brings a lot of information about the forestry sector and about Expoforest 2023. In the text, she says that the event, scheduled for August 9th, 10th and 11th, will be in a 200-hectare eucalyptus forest in the Sylvamo, in Guatapará, municipality in the region of Ribeirão Preto (SP).

The report also talks about the expectation of the public that should visit the fair: “visitors from more than 30 countries interested in learning about the technologies used by Brazil, one of the largest producers of planted forests in the world.”

It also recalls the history and format of the event, inspired by fairs in Sweden and Finland. “The fair, always held every four years, has been in preparation for two and a half years. It should have been in 2022, but it was postponed due to the pandemic. The fourth edition, held in 2018, in Santa Rita do Passa Quatro (SP), registered R$ 316 million in business. It brought together 240 exhibitors and received 30,654 visitors”, quotes an excerpt from the article.

Lastly, the reporter summarizes the planted forest sector in Brazil, whose gross revenue grew from BRL 116 billion in 2020 to BRL 244.6 billion in 2021, according to data from the Annual Report of the Brazilian Tree Industry (Ibá ), exporting US$ 11.8 billion and generating 2.8 million jobs.
