Açaí from Amazónia

Direct

• Job creation: 11 jobs will be created in the company's production unit in Oliveira do Hospital.
• Responsible management of resources and waste: the whole project is based on the ESG methodology (Environmental, Social, and Governance) which means that environmental, social, and governmental principles are followed in all dimensions of the company’s activity. The installation of a photovoltaic system, capable of meeting part of the company's energy needs, is expected. There will be an effluent treatment plant to treat the water resulting from the factory's washing process, as well as waste management generated during production.
• Promotion of economic activity in the Portuguese inland territories: a region with low population density where the encouragement of productive economic activities has the potential to strengthen the productive and competitive capabilities of local companies.

Indirect

• Promotion of organic production: Tropicalamazon organic certification covers products from plantation to pulp processing at the industrial level.
• The production of organic açaí in the riverside regions of the Brazilian state of Pará is native and traditional for the Amazonian communities who live there. The production is done in harmony with the Amazon Forest habitat, and each producer has on his property an area reserved for environmental protection, in compliance with Brazilian regulations.
• Social and environmental responsibility: Tropicalamazon intends to implement traceability artifacts in each of its processes from production, post-harvest handling, and distribution of the fruit. The açaí cultivation is carried out by local cooperatives, which comprise about 80 cooperative members, and the company supports the açaí producers with the maintenance of organic production certifications, and in health care.
