In the Acaí Value Chain, REM MT seeks to structure the following links: inputs, collection, processing and commercialization. With this, the objective is to work the entire product chain, involving farmers from the Amazon region of Mato Grosso, establishing differentiated products, with required phytosanitary and environmental care.
The açaí palm tree is one of the main species of native socio-biodiversity in the Amazon. In the context of Mato Grosso, açaí palm trees are found in abundance in the municipalities of Aripuanã, Alta Floresta, Apiacás, Paranaíta and Porto dos Gaúchos. However, there is still no tradition in the state regarding fruit extraction, which is why REM MT seeks to strengthen the structuring of initiatives in the Açaí value chain.
