Importing our açaí
Our açaí puree does not come from plantations but is harvested from the wild by ribeirinhos. These indigenous people live on the banks of the Amazon Basin.

We also cultivate our own açaí
Almazonia invests in agroforestry. We purchased land in Amazonia where, in addition to certified organic açaí berries, we also cultivate other types of organic fruit such as pitaya, cocoa, acerola, cupuaçu and soursop. So in addition to buying açaí from local communities, part of the harvest comes from our own land. Agroforestry not only promotes biodiversity but also creates new economic opportunities in addition to socio-economic benefits.
