1967 - US entrepreneur Daniel K. Ludwig, who was 74 years old at the time, purchased Jari Indústria e Comércio from its Portuguese owners, including an area of 1,734,606.01 hectares in the Jari region. He then opened a new forestry and ranching enterprise: Jari Florestal e Agropecuária Ltda. Famed as a great visionary and entrepreneur, Ludwig decided to produce high-grade woodpulp and paper in this region from reforested areas. This was the start of the Jari Project, one of the largest and most ambitious agri-business programs of its times. In May 1979, the pulp mill started up operations, producing 120,000 tons during its first year. A highly productive agri-business, it followed a trail-blazing model for sustainable development.
