Cupuaçu trees grow wild in the Amazon rainforest, following the forest’s natural cycles and helping preserve biodiversity in their native habitat.

Their flowers and fruits support a wide range of wildlife, while deep root systems help prevent soil erosion and maintain healthy watersheds.

Cupuaçu fruits are harvested in alignment with the forest’s natural growth cycles to avoid harming the tree or its ecosystem.

This careful approach ensures fruit quality while protecting biodiversity and supporting long-term, sustainable production.

Producers work with local farmer associations under sustainable management systems that strengthen responsible production chains and regional socio-bioeconomics.

Cupuaçu production provides essential income opportunities for small-scale farmers and communities while preserving traditional relationships with the forest.

The Cupuaçu tree (Theobroma grandiflorum) is a remarkable Amazonian species closely related to cacao, producing large fruits that can weigh up to 2 kilograms.

These trees can reach heights of 15–20 meters and are well adapted to the rainforest environment.
