Prezentare generală
RONAP exportă nuci crude de Brazilia, o nucă amazoniană bogată în grăsimi sănătoase, antioxidanți, vitamine și minerale, pe piețele din SUA și Europa. Asociația elimină intermediarii și achiziționează nuci direct de la 33 de colectori de nuci de Brazilia din Madre de Dios, Peru, asigurându-se că aceștia primesc prețuri corecte pentru produsele lor.
Brazil nut trees rely on the complex ecosystem of the rainforest to flourish and produce fruit. To safeguard the forests’ rich biodiversity, RONAP’s Brazil nut suppliers hold concessionary contracts with the government to responsibly use the hectares for their commercial activities. RONAP provides them with technical training, tools, and psychological support to maintain the quality and environmental sustainability of their production.
RONAP’s main growth objective is to improve the income possibilities for local communities in Madre de Dios. In addition to supporting suppliers and their families who want to implement sustainable agricultural practices, the association’s activities have also created more than 40 employment opportunities in the biodiverse city that spans savannah and rainforest. Another way in which RONAP improves the livelihoods of local inhabitants is by outsourcing the processing of its certified organic raw Brazil Nuts to local third-party providers that employ women from the region.
