Being a traditional food source in Northern Brazil, açaí feeds an entire chain of production and creates income for innumerable Brazilian families.
Recognising the fruit’s importance for the region’s development, Barbosa factory is working in partnership with a local Açaí Producers Association.
Barbosa is building the Association’s headquarters and also buys the açaí seeds for use as fuel in the ceramic kilns. According to Sr. Eliézer, the President of the Association, “the seeds used to lie in the street and we had to pay to have them disposed of. Now, thanks to the carbon project, Barbosa pays for the açaí seeds. This is a great help for us, the producers”.
Once the headquarters are completed, the producers will have space to hold meetings and produce frozen açaí pulp for export.
When buying carbon credits of this project you are supporting , sponsoring , financing and making possible the reduction of greenhouse gases and various initiatives in the social scope , environmental and economic as the following:
