About

Hello! It is a pleasure to present Engenho, a company from Amapá that was born in 2020 with a very important mission: to use the açaí seed in the production of aromatic beverages, reducing environmental impacts and generating jobs and income. Founded by Lázaro Gonçalves, Coordinator, and Valda Gonçalves, CEO, Engenho is a company that values sustainability and social responsibility in all its activities. With a dedicated and committed team, Engenho has stood out in the market for the quality of its products and concern for offering innovative and sustainable solutions. If you still don’t know Engenho, don’t miss the opportunity to try their aromatic drinks and contribute to a more sustainable and fair world.

An Environmental Problem

The açaí production chain generates tons of solid waste in agroindustries, causing a serious environmental impact due to its accumulation and disposal in inappropriate places. For example, in the state of Amapá alone, 24,450 kg of açaí seeds are discarded every day in the urban areas of Macapá and Santana alone, not counting the other counties and towns in the state. Based on this, Engenho developed an innovative solution as an alternative to reduce the environmental impacts caused by the açaí production chain and at the same time generate jobs and income: an aromatic drink made from the use of açaí seeds, becoming the first company that is registered to use açaí residues (seeds) for food purposes.

Product - Açaí Coffee

Açaí coffee, as it became known, is a drink with characteristics similar to traditional coffee, as the production process is the same. However, unlike traditional coffee, the consumption of this aromatic drink brings numerous health benefits, as studies and research have proven significant amounts of vitamins A, D, E, K, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, in addition to anthocyanins and tannins.
