Forest out-grower schemes "fimento florestal' are expanding in Brazilian, including Amazonia. This study examined the socio-economic implications of smallholder-led fomento florestal for eucalyptus production in Almeirim (PA). We interviewed both participating and non-participating farming households (total = 39). The projects offered low remuneration for household labor input and appeared to be financially unviable when contracted labour was necessary. The implementation of smallholder-led fomento florestal in farms with low capacity can cause a net reduction in income. This study provides an important baseline from which to redefine government policies relevant to the on-going expansion of fomento and development in the Amazon region.
