Traveling through the jungle requires knowledge and passion for wanting to maintain this vast unexplored biome, I say unexplored because it is a fact that we are still light years away from everything the Amazon can provide to humanity.

The challenges are greater than its continental size, but with good practices and social interests equalized in sustainability, this movement will grow and a thriving and sustainable economy will emerge.

For some years, in this challenging immersion at UG & Co. we have been developing global partnerships between the community, industry, commerce and end consumers in the delivery of high-value-added products, in various food and beverage segments, such as the verticalization of the fish production chain with institute Imaflora Brasil, Origens Brasil, Juruá Pescados, Pescados Do Rio.

Walking and observing other segments as established as fish, the Amazon has a diversity of tropical fruits rich in nutrients such as powerfruit açaí, camu-camu, acerola and pineapple itself from the Novo Remanso region, in the interior of the Amazon, provided by the federal government the seal of Geographical Indication bringing greater strength and appeal to the pineapple planted and harvested in that region, as well as the wines from the Champagne region in France.

Your brand, everything that is the best and most absolute for the market. The pulps are processed from the fruit, thus ensuring maximum quality in the final product.

Within UG & Co. the search is tireless to amplify the perfect balance between its sustainable atmosphere. Keeping the forest standing and extracting the best is rooted in our beliefs.
