A Suzano (SUZB3) said that its cellulose production volume in 2024 (excluding Cerrado) will be 4% below its nominal production capacity.
The decision was taken since, according to the company, the volume would not bring adequate returns for Suzano at a time when the pulp market is more complex.
According to the company, the change in its production volume will not impact the service of already contracted customers, as well as suppliers.
“It is worth noting that the operation of the Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit (previously called Cerrado Project) continues as expected and already announced to the market, with a production volume of 900 thousand tons remaining planned for the year 2024”, says Marcelo Feriozzi Bacci , executive director of Finance and Investor Relations.
