Abstract

The present work, developed through the bibliographical research teaching methodology, highlights the main results obtained in the analysis of the açaí production chain in the community of Conceição do Muricá, located in the Laranjal do Jari region. The study reveals a significant impact both in the economic sphere and in cultural preservation. In the economic sphere, the production, processing and trade of açaí emerge as essential pillars for the local economy, generating jobs, income and contributing significantly to the growth of the region's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The appreciation of this commercial sector not only boosts the local economy, but also positively influences other sectors. In the cultural aspect, the açaí production chain plays a fundamental role in preserving local identity and traditions. Açaí cultivation, harvesting and processing practices not only keep cultural heritages alive, but also strengthen community ties and promote a sense of belonging in the community. Furthermore, the appreciation of the work developed by the community of Conceição do Muricá stands out. The commitment to adopting sustainable practices, preserving traditional knowledge and cooperating collectively highlights the efficiency and resilience of this community. This appreciation not only boosts the local economy, but also promotes social well-being, stimulating socioeconomic growth and strengthening bonds between residents. This study emphasizes the relevance of the açaí production chain as an agent of socioeconomic and cultural development. The bibliographic research teaching methodology allowed us to analyze in depth the impacts of this activity, highlighting the importance of valuing not only the economic aspect, but also cultural traditions and community work in promoting sustainable development in the Laranjal do Jari region.
