Colombia could produce over 600k tons of açaà and become a global player in superfruit market
Colombia has the potential to become one of the world's leading açaà producers, with the capacity to produce over 600,000 tons of the superfruit. With 2.3 million hectares of açaà palms scattered across the Pacific and Amazon regions, less than 1% of this immense potential is currently utilized. The development of açaà cultivation in the country is seen as a significant opportunity for the economy, generating employment, preserving the environment, and promoting peace.
With a global açaà market valued at USD 6.9 billion and projected to reach USD 14.8 billion by 2030, Colombia has the potential to become a major international player. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5% and the increased demand for healthy foods offer a unique opportunity for the country to capture up to 60% of this market if it expands production and invests in infrastructure.
