what solves

The production of juices with fruits from the Amazon is directly linked to sustainable production and maintenance of the standing forest, through an integration between industry and farmers. It promotes a sustainable value chain, trains and prepares family farmers to adopt agroforestry systems, generating income and solving problems of soil degradation, deforestation, recovery of areas previously destined for pasture or unsuitable for planting.

impact

Currently, OKA buys pulps from ten small farmers from the ANPROTERRA association and begins work with rural producer associations in the municipalities of Terra Alta and Augusto Correia. There are more than 160 families working in the production of fruit and pulp, integrated with the company in the preservation of the Amazon through the increase of areas in agroforestry systems and sustainable management of Permanent Preservation Areas.

product/market

OKA produces a line of juices with tropical fruits (acerola, guava, passion fruit and cashew) and a line of Amazon fruits (cupuaçu, taperebá, bacuri, buriti and açaí), both packaged in 300ml and 900ml bottles. The juices are sold in the market in the Metropolitan Region of Belém.

The Sustainable Development Goals are a global call to action to end poverty, protect the environment and climate, and ensure that people everywhere can enjoy peace and prosperity.
