Dear friends and B.Forest readers,

Dear friends and B.Forest readers,

The recent developments in the global scenario and our domestic economy have posed a challenge to market specialists and analysts. With factories shutting down in many countries due to the spread of the new coronavirus, especially in China, as well as the devaluation rate of the Brazilian Real, seem to signal that it’s time to proceed carefully. However, even in adverse situations, the forestry sector must remain united, as it always has in times of crisis.
In this month’s issue, our content deals with a wide variety of specific challenges in our sector. The first article is about the possible applications of LiDAR technologies in Brazil and the future of forestry operations. The second analyzes an old challenge for Brazilian forestry: mechanizing wood harvesting operations for small and medium-scale producers. Moreover, our monthly Forestry Bioproducts series provides a complete analysis of the potential of nanocellulose, and we also present the technological innovations of this month’s chosen forestry startup.
We also have a very special guest: Marcelo Ambrogi, strategic planning director at Euca Energy, the company with the ambitious project of establishing one of the country’s most efficient pulp plants in the state of Mato Grosso. In our exclusive conversation with Marcelo, he tells us about the origins of the project, its current stage of development and expectations for the Euca Energy plant. Don’t miss it!
