What will you be financing?

Tropicalamazon, part of the Group 4 All Food's Industry & Company, will bring the production of açaí and related products to Portugal. Its goal is to sell the freeze-dried açaí powder to the final consumer in supermarkets and to the ice cream and superfood industry.

This is Tropicalamazon's second campaign after raising 75.00€ in Açaí from Amazónia. With the funds raised through Goparity's community, the company intends to make up the investments to:

  • buy the necessary equipment and machines for the production unit,
  • pay expansion marketing costs,
  • establish the organizational structure and hire the necessary human resources.

After the acquisition of the frozen pulp industrialized in Brazil by the company Açaí da Safra, Tropicalamazon will process the frozen açaí, using an automated system of pasteurization, mixing and processing, to obtain the açaí sorbet, with the possibility of adding natural fruit flavors and natural sweeteners.

The company will also produce aseptically packed açaí, which allows for the liquid product to be consumed up to 12 months after its production without adding any preservatives. An innovative production method in Europe. In other words, Tropicalamazon will sell the real açaí, without preservatives or additions - the natural flavor of this Amazonian fruit.

Tropicalamazon will also use the first freeze-dryer for açaí in Europe. This equipment can transform the frozen açaí into powder, without heating, preserving all its properties, vitamins, and nutrients. The freeze-dryer conserves anthocyanins, considered by some to be important for the human diet and to have various health benefits.

The company uses certified organic açaí, grown in a socially and environmentally responsible way by a cooperative in the Brazilian Amazon.

What is the impact?

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.
