Our history
The Minas Gerais Forestry Industry Association (AMIF - Associação Mineira da Indústria Florestal) was founded in 2018. However, the organization is the result of a history spanning almost 50 years.
It all began with the creation of the Charcoal Brazilian Association (ABRACAVE - Associação Brasileira de Carvão Vegetal) in 1976. ABRACAVE aimed to contribute to the sustainable and orderly growth of the charcoal production sector.
In 2003, ABRACAVE transformed into the Minas Gerais Silviculture Association (AMS - Associação Mineira de Silvicultura), an entity established to represent the major companies in the planted forest sector of Minas Gerais, including steelworks and ferroalloys, pulp and paper, panels, solid wood products, and forest investments.
In pursuit of new potentials, in 2018, AMS evolved into the Minas Gerais Forestry Industry Association (AMIF - Associação Mineira da Indústria Florestal).

With a new visual identity, an increased number of affiliated companies, strong partnerships with other organizations and the government of Minas Gerais, along with a skilled team and a dedicated Board of Directors, AMIF now works to promote the sector of planted trees, the largest agricultural culture in Minas Gerais, making it increasingly innovative and close to the people.
