The Department of Extractivism of the Brazilian Ministry of Environment (MMA) is responsible for the Andes Amazon Room at the largest sustainable business fair in Latin America, the ExpoSustentat. The event will be held between October 28 and 30, at the Transamerica Expo Center in São Paulo.
The Andes Amazon Room is a forum to exhibit and share experiences in sustainable business enterprise, sponsored by the MMA in partnership with the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO). It is a regional platform with the aim of promoting sustainable development in the Andes-Amazon region.
This year, the Andes Amazon Room provides a wide range of products for sustainable use of socio-biodiversity from 42 enterprises in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Twenty Brazilian enterprises will be presented with several products, like rubber, Amazonian fruits (açaí, cupuaçu, guaraná), oils (copaíba, andiroba, buriti), crafts and biojewels.
Since 2005, the MMA, through the Department of the Secretariat of Extractivism and Sustainable Rural Development, has been sponsoring this space to display and exchange experiences in sustainable business.
Originally created only for Brazilian enterprises, since 2007 the fair has a partnership with the ACTO, becoming a space that brings together businesses and other Andean-Amazonian initiatives.
Since 2005, the ExpoSustentat is the only Trade Fair in Latin America that promotes sustainability in synergy with an international event of organic products, the BioFach Latin America. This combination offers visitors and exhibitors a prime opportunity to make contacts and deals with actors from various countries gathered at the same time and place.
ExpoSustentat and BioFach Latin America will be held at Transamerica Expo Center, in São Paulo (Avenida Dr. Mario Villas Boas Rodrigues, 387 - Santo Amaro). For further information, visit http://www.exposustentat.com.br/09-enginfo.htm.
