In the heart of Bolivia’s Amazon rainforest, where biodiversity thrives and communities protect the forest they call home, grows one of the world’s most powerful superfoods — the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa).
Known locally as castaña amazónica, this nutrient-rich seed is far more than an ingredient; it’s a symbol of sustainable prosperity and forest conservation.
A Natural Powerhouse from the Amazon
Brazil nuts are celebrated for their exceptional nutritional profile — rich in selenium, omega fatty acids, and proteins, making them one of nature’s best sources of antioxidants.
Their oil is used in the cosmetics and wellness industries, while the nut itself is prized in gourmet and bakery products for its smooth texture and naturally sweet flavor. Even the by-products of oil extraction, like jachi flour, are used to feed livestock sustainably, ensuring zero waste in the process.
Empowering Indigenous Communities through Sustainable Harvesting
Cooltiva partners with AIR MUIJE (Asociación Integral de Recolectores Muije), an organization that unites 67 collectors from the Cavineño and Tacana indigenous peoples in Bolivia’s Amazon.
Together, they sustainably manage over 31,000 hectares of native forest, combining ancestral knowledge with modern sustainability standards.
AIR MUIJE’s Brazil nuts are Fairtrade certified, guaranteeing fair prices, equitable profit distribution, and continuous reinvestment into the community. Through this model, rural women lead the transformation, ensuring that each nut harvested supports not just a family, but the preservation of an entire ecosystem.
Cooltiva’s Triple-Impact Model
At Cooltiva, we believe digital transformation is the key to inclusive growth.
Our platform connects indigenous and farming communities directly with the food service and retail industries, eliminating intermediaries, ensuring price stability, and promoting traceability from forest to table.
By integrating technology, logistics, and impact finance, we empower producers like AIR MUIJE to reach global buyers, while reducing food waste and preventing forced migration — two key factors in mitigating deforestation and wildfires across tropical regions.
A New Trade Route: From the Amazon to Saudi Arabia
As part of the Entrepreneurship World Cup 2025 Top 100, Cooltiva is proudly representing Bolivia at the #Biban_Forum_2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — the #Global_Destination_For_Opportunities.
Our goal is to open a new commercial route connecting Bolivia’s sustainable Amazonian harvests with the growing demand for healthy, traceable, and ethically sourced products in the Middle East.
The Brazil nut embodies what we stand for: nutrition, sustainability, and shared prosperity.
At Biban, we hope to meet buyers, distributors, and partners who share our vision of transforming rural economies through innovation and respect for nature.
Join Us in Building the Future of Sustainable Trade
Cooltiva invites conscious consumers, investors, and businesses in Saudi Arabia and beyond to explore opportunities in sustainable sourcing and inclusive agri-trade. Together, we can build value chains that not only feed the world — but also preserve the forests that sustain it.
