Results and perspectives<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

4,627 products were sold, totaling R$ 137,854.20. But the expected results transcend these achievements, as Naturaltech is also focused on retailers. The movement is already in talks with spaces, fairs and markets that are interested in having a space dedicated to Amazonian brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cParticipating in Naturaltech was an unprecedented moment in the journey of the Amazon at home Forest standing<\/em>. We were able to combine our physical sales and online sales strategies. It was the first moment that we were able to bring together our entire portfolio of Amazonian brands with their representatives and products, offering a showcase of innovation and impact to the market. It was a moment that brought together integration among the members, visibility to the market, an environment for sales to the final consumer and commercial contacts on a larger scale", evaluates Floriana Breyer, manager of partnerships at the Amazon at home Forest in Foot<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guilherme Faleiros, coordinator of the market access program by AMAZ and Idesam, highlights the public's notorious interest in consuming, more and more, products with a purpose: \u201cDuring Naturaltech, the movement's brands were able to tell their stories, while at the same time that the public realized that the Amazon has greater value potential when standing. It is these allies that we seek to sensitize with the movement Amazon at home Forest standing<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Paulo Reis, one of the organizers of the movement's participation in NaturalTech and entrepreneur of Manioca and Amazonique, believes that, given the importance of Naturaltech, opening space for the participation of the Amazon is to put the region on the map of consumers and retailers: \u201cThe answer was immediate response: we had wonderful feedback from customers, who tried the products out of curiosity or for the cause, and were delighted with the taste and quality of our products\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
