In the YouTube video "Ampliação de fábrica de celulose vai gerar empregos no Mato Grosso do Sul," Minister Katia Abreu tours a celulose factory in Three Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul, which currently produces 1.3 million tonnes of celulose annually for export. The factory aims to expand production by over 100% with a $2.5 billion investment, financed in part by BNDES. The expansion will make it the world's largest eucalyptus celulose plant, producing over 3 million tonnes per year. The project will employ around 6,000 workers during construction and 40,000 direct and indirect jobs. The energy for production will be generated on-site from biomass. The company, which exports to over 40 countries and has over 500,000 hectares of planted forests and nearly 350,000 hectares of conservation areas, also anticipates boosting the local economy by purchasing from around 60 local suppliers.
