  •  Public Notice 2016/007 – Ecoforte Extractivismo (Ecoforte Extractivism)

23 projects were contracted, 21 of which under this project (7 with resources from the Amazon Fund, 14 from the FBB counterpart related to the 2014 contract). 

The subprojects are distributed in 18 Federal Conservation Units for Sustainable Use, of the categories National Forest (Amapá, Macauã, Purus, Tefé and Tapajós) and Extractive Reserve (Arapixi, Baixo Juruá, Kazumbá-Iracema, Chico Mendes, Ituxi, Lago do Cuniã, Mãe Grande de Curuçá, Médio Juruá, Médio Purus, Rio Cajari, Rio do Cautário, Rio Ouro Preto and Tapajós-Arapiuns), located in Amazonas, Amapá, Acre, Roraima and Pará. 

The financial support was focused on the structuring of collective economic enterprises formed mainly by extractivists and family farmers, aiming at the stages of production, processing and/or marketing of products from the management of fauna (fish and meliponiculture) and the sustainable forest management of wood and non-wood, namely: community wood management, açaí, taperebá, bacaba, bacuri, buriti, manioc flour, Brazil nuts, copaiba, unha-de-gato, oilseeds, latex and native cocoa. 

  • Ecoforte Redes (Ecoforte Networks) Public Notice 2017/030

In order to support territorial projects of agroecology, extractivism and organic production networks, aimed at intensifying the sustainable management practices of socio-biodiversity products and organic and agro-ecological-based production systems, two proposals were selected and are in the initial phase.

  •  Regulation 2017/031

A project was contracted to support projects for the implementation and/or improvement of collective economic enterprises related to the agroecological, extractive and organic production of agroecology, extractivism and organic production networks agreed under the 2014/005 Notice - ECOFORTE Networks.

The 24 subprojects supported benefited 7,149 people directly, 3,509 of whom were women. The revenue obtained from economic activities of sustainable use reached R$7.48 million; 288 rural properties benefited from technical assistance and rural or agroforestry extension; and 76 community organizations were strengthened.

Production and processing structures were built, such as nurseries, warehouses for storage and agro-industries for processing. The transport logistics was structured for the flow of production and reduction of the performance of transporters, with the acquisition of trucks, utility vehicles, quadricycles, wagons, canoes, air boats, bass boats, and ferries. There was also an improvement in safety conditions at work with the acquisition and supply of adequate personal protective equipment (PPE), tools, machinery and equipment. The communication and marketing strategies were also improved and courses were held aiming at good production practices, processing and organizational management. 

It is also worth mentioning that working with organizations of beneficiaries of UCs promotes the strengthening of the collective management processes of the supported enterprises, with improvement of the processes of planning, organization and management control, expansion of the operational and commercial capacity of the enterprises, which contributes to increased productivity, added value and rationalization of activities.
