Fruit pulp from Brazilian savannah lands towards the foreign market
The Cooperative Grande Sertão, from the city of Montes Claros in Brazil, invests in the production of varieties such as the fruits pequi and umbu and, in this way, improves the income of farmers and preserves the environment in the savannahs in midwestern and northeastern Brazil. Currently the production is of 80 tonnes of pulp per crop. The aim is to increase the production to 120 tonnes in 2007.
