With an always growing and more and more demanding in quality market, it would be insensible simply to prohibit the use of natural forest, if there wasn't the alternative of using reforested wood. Comparing to other types of land usage, reforesting or commercial planting of trees species is the most recommended agricultural activity for the soil preservation and protection and recovering of devasted areas. Exactly for this reason, forestry is the most appropriate land usage system in a tropical climate, where the risks of soil devastation through erosion are worse.

If a rigid reforesting programme is not carried out, Brazil could find three very unpleasant and absurd choices, keeping in mind Brazil's amazing conditions for producing wood in a wide scale:
1. Reduce the development process, decreasing wood consumption;
2. Start using its natural reserves, speacially the Amazon Forest; or
3. import the needed wood from other countries, sacrifying, this way, the payments and rising its external debt.

Besides the favourable natural conditions, Brazil has extra manpower in the country side, as well as a good technological knowledge in activities related to forest an wood production.

Eucaliptus wasn't choosen out of the blue, as the potentially most appropriated genus, but also because of its several advantages. For Brazil, specificaly, Eucaliptus is quite strategical, once its wood provides the forest based industrial sector.

From this wood it is produced 5.4 million tons of pulp, more than 70% of the national produciton. Another impressive number is the vegetal coal sector, with its yearly production of 18.8 million sq. Meter, more than 70% if the national production.

The fiber venner sector, with yearly production of 558 thousand m3, represents 100% of the national production.

The particle board fiber venner produces 500 thousand m3, almost 30% of the national production.
