This paper presents and analyzes data about employment and work in eucalyptus plantations and cellulose production for export in the state of Espírito Santo, more specifically about the company Aracruz Celulose, leader of the sector in Brazil. Not intended to be an academic study, the paper is actually the report of a survey in which men and women workers from Aracruz Celulose and men and women inhabitants of the communities in the neighborhood of the company were preferentially interviewed, which also helped reveal the situation of these communities, whose traditional forms of work suffered alterations or were rendered impracticable on account of the deployment of large-scale eucalyptus monoculture in the state. The names of the interviewed workers, former workers and union members were omitted for reasons of security.
