Our commitment is evidenced by the Certificate of Origin from Peru's Ministry of the Environment through SERNAP, which authenticates the origin of our Aguaje seeds sourced directly from indigenous Amazonian communities.

AMA Botanica partners with local communities engaged in sustainable agroforestry practices. We utilize non-invasive collection methods, employing ropes that protect the integrity of the palm trees. These advanced harvesting techniques contribute to reducing deforestation and encourage the propagation of native species.
The Aguaje palm, or Mauritia Flexuosa, is an ecological powerhouse, improving water quality and capturing carbon, which benefits the environment where other crops cannot survive. Cultivating Aguaje comes with its challenges, such as identifying the fruit-producing female plants amidst a thick canopy that shades the forest floor. Yet, the resilience of these communities prevails as they skillfully incorporate Aguaje into their agricultural systems, a crucial step in preserving the Amazon's ecological harmony and rich diversity.
