Technical assistance for the bioeconomy in the Amazon: from challenges to solution – Executive Summary

This study will provide information on how technical assistance services are offered today to producers of açaí, crabwood (andiroba), cocoa, Brazil nuts and pirarucu fish in specific territories in the Amazon. Successful and innovative experiences have paved the way for years for the employment of technical assistance in that territory. However, we will review the gaps and bottlenecks that must be discussed so that technical assistance can fulfil its role as a structuring element of a strong bioeconomy in the Amazon.
