Açaímazon
Our mission is to build the bridge between conscious consuming and the maintenance of the Amazon biodiversity, through the native communities where the Açaí foments the local economy.
Our commitment is to offer Açaí products following the best practice, giving to our customers the chance to get to know where and who collected the açaí super fruit and how it was processed until it be delivered from the Amazon rainforest to your door.
About the Açaí market
The Açaí commerce in 2019 registered a market size of US 720 million and following the forecast to 2025 it should achieve around US 2.1 billions, as much as the consuming of Açaí increases. For Açaímazon It is just a matter of time once year after year people all around the world have discovered Açaí's benefits.
The exponential growth in global demand for Açaí can also be a risk to the biodiversity of flood areas along the river, It is necessary to avoid Açaí monocultures on those areas called "varzea", where Açaí palms natively grows, in order to preserve the biodiversity.
Our Vision
Açaímazon believes there are two way to attend the global Açaí demand:
-
Fomenting the familiar agriculture productivity through great technical programs as the one performed by Embrapa-Emater institute. The program called minimal impact handling native Acai palms in "varzea", teach the families that lives along the river, how to get more fruits in long term causing the minimal impact to the biodiversity.
-
The Açaí palms can be cultivated in agroforestry or syntropic agriculture system, it means reforest degraded areas in the Amazon and expand Açaí production through solid ground using irrigation systems. Embrapa published an interesting article about When Açaizal becomes an Agroforestry System, beyond produce Açaí, the systems enables combined productions such as Cacau, Banana and Cupuaçu.
Working on both fronts we believe is possible to attend Açaí demand and preserve the Amazon biodiversity. Actually we can do much more, we can recover huge degraded areas generating new carbon credits as second income for those ones investing on agroforestry system.
Açaímazon started working on front number one, making sure that all the Açaí offered to our customers comes from familiar agriculture following the best practices recommended by Embrapa-Emater.
As much as this bridge between the conscious consuming and the maintenance of the Amazon biodiversity has been build by Açaímazon customers, we will be ready on the right time to work on front number two, recovering degraded areas to produce Açaí and generate local employment fomenting the local economy.
We are highly motivated for the challenge to spread healthy and distribute this amazing super fruit in any place where there is a new demand in Scandinavia. Acaimazon the first company to see Açaí berries as a healing for the Amazon rainforest by itself, beyond that, we see it as a great tool to prevent world food crisis and climate changes.
Positive Production Cycle
Many studies and projects have been made over decades through Embrapa to define the best way to attend the growing global demand with the minimum impact to the biodiversity, the conclusion was that is needed to limit the number of Açaí palms per hectare in native areas, to avoid monocultures and to keep the efficiency in terms of berries quality, the technique is called "minimal impact management".
When purchasing the Açaí, you are not only making a great choice for your health, but also contributing to a better world; for the Amazon forest and for our local partners and their communities.
The researchers are concluding that Açaí palms needed to migrate to firm ground, where attended by an efficient irrigation system and surrounded by the right biodiversity agents, it can provides good berries's harvest during the whole year and even bigger production than the native Açaí palms.
On that way, Açaímazon has the vision that the Açaí palms in firm ground, recovering degraded areas, it can also represent a CO2 farm generating carbon credits, to be commercialized in the growing carbon credits market, or even to be applied to reduce the CO2 footprint caused by Açaí transportation around the world.
Açaímazon is the first company to invite you to create a positive cycle around this super fruit, in one side we provide to our customers organic certificated products, following the best international business practices, in another side we reinvest part of our revenue in the planting of açaí palm trees in degraded areas, through partnerships with local landowners in order to ensure constant Açaí offers
