By Brazil Stock Guide – Suzano SA (SUZB3 BZ) announced a $50-per-ton increase in pulp prices for customers in Europe and the Americas, effective May, extending a series of hikes driven by tightening global supply conditions. In Europe, the adjustment brings prices to $1,430 per ton, according to the company.
The latest move follows a similar increase announced in March, when Suzano also raised prices by $50 per ton in the same regions and implemented a $20-per-ton increase for customers in China and other Asian markets.
The company has been able to enforce successive price hikes since late 2025, supported by favorable market dynamics. Supply-side disruptions have played a key role, particularly in the first quarter of 2026.
Issues involving licensing for wood production in Indonesia, combined with delays in the startup of a new pulp mill in the region, have constrained global supply and helped sustain higher prices for the commodity.
