We pay small regenerative farmers for their cacao beans. We then package the cacao and sell it in bulk to large buyers. We are now also producing artisanal chocolates from our farmers' cacao beans!
We pay Indians and others for Brazil nuts gathered from the rainforest. Workers in our modern factory then process the nuts onsite, ensuring high quality and competitive prices in local supermarkets.
We pay Indians and others for medicinal jaborandi leaves gathered from the rainforest. We then package the jaborandi and sell it in bulk to medical companies for glaucoma-treating eye drops.
To strengthen the development of family farming, we established CAMPPAX in 2013 - the Alternative Mixed Cooperative of Small Producers of Alto Xingu. We are a cooperative of approximately 176 families, with an annual production of around 1100 tons of cocoa. We have ORGANIC CERTIFICATION with CE, BR, and USDA seals, enabling us to export our products.
In addition to cocoa, we participate in various programs aimed at strengthening the chains of non-timber forest products (extraction), promoting agroecology, and conserving the forest in the municipality of São Félix do Xingu.
We also market other natural products from the Amazon, such as Brazil nuts and jaborandi leaves. This creates development opportunities for our members and strengthens our relationships with clients and partners who seek quality and sustainability for their businesses.
Enhancing the lives of family farmers in rural areas by providing sustainable income opportunities for our members and their families through effective marketing.
