Seasonal harvest jobs
Seasonal work for extractive collectors who keep a traditional forest-harvesting know-how alive.
MARACA AGRO NORTE
From the forest of Maraca to tables around the world a new Amazonian agro-industry, born in 2026.
Our origins
Founded in 2026 by four entrepreneurs from French Guiana, including one Franco-Brazilian, Maraca Agro Norte Ltda was born from a simple conviction: the Amazon rainforest, when valued intelligently, can sustain a modern agro-industry without being destroyed. The company is based on land in Maraca, a 90-minute drive from Macapá, in the municipality of Mazagão — at the heart of a territory historically tied to Brazil nut extraction and small-scale family farming.

First commercial harvest
Before it is a factory, Castanha do Pará is a promise kept for generations by extractive families in Amapá. Our role: to build the industrial downstream this supply chain was missing.
In the municipality, development is limited. Extractivists are often forced to sell their nuts at a discount to middlemen — or, worse, simply cannot find a buyer. Our arrival in the area opens a lasting outlet, and a positive impact for the community.

Rooted in people and place
Our supply chain follows the rivers and the people who have always known them: extractive collectors, cooperatives, boats on the Rio Maraca and at the Port of Central.
Local cooperatives
Complementary sourcing through local cooperatives, securing volume and regularity.
River and port logistics
Direct intake from the Port of Central (Mazagão Velho) and from the Rio Maraca — using the region’s natural access routes rather than imposing heavy road logistics.
Açaí, the same logic, next chapter
Building on this same vision, we extend our model to açaí — a fruit just as emblematic of the Amazon, grown on the same agroecological principles. 150 ha planned in 2027, then 150 ha more in 2028 (300 ha in total), with an açaí processing plant.
Discover AçaíInnovation and environmental rigor
Nothing is wasted: Brazil nut shells and depulped açaí seeds become biochar, biochar becomes a carbon credit, and the mown cover crop feeds the soil that feeds the trees.
-
ESG from day one
Designed to be at the forefront of technology, with environmental, social, and governance criteria built into the project from the start.
-
Biochar and carbon credits
Biochar from Brazil nut shells and depulped açaí seeds — a circular loop that turns co-products into a resource, then into carbon credits as a second revenue stream tied to sustainability.
-
Organic and agroforestry
Organic farming with legumes and fruit trees. An agroforestry system pairing açaí and cacao, with stylosanthes and desmodium as cover crops — mown and laid in windrows along açaí rows to enrich the soil and limit erosion.
