ABOUT US

Tahuamanu’s” productive activities began in the early 1990s, however, in 1989 a group of business people arrived to Cobija, most of them belonging to the coffee sector, who decided to investigate and analyze the possibilities of settling in Cobija and venture into the Brazil-nut business.
Back then, most of the Brazil-nuts gathered in Cobija’s area of influence were exported as raw material to the city of Belém, Brazil. There was no capability in place to acquire all the Brazil-nuts that were being collected nor was there the necessary labor that could process the Brazil-nuts in Pando, particularly in Cobija. In this regard, investments were made on modern technologies and industrialized systems to process Brazil-nuts, and create job opportunities in the area.
