The objective of the project was to develop a sustainable business model around the aquaculture of Amazonian fish with regional and national demand, based on productive reconversion, with a focus on circular economy and the conservation and recovery of ecosystems in the province of Moyobamba, San Martin.
The project also had an impact on the restoration of 200 hectares of land belonging to 100 neighboring cocoa- and coffee-producing families in the districts of Calzada, Habana, Soritor and Yantaló in the province of Moyobamba. Thus, both on the farm and among neighboring families, soil recovery and conservation, reforestation of degraded areas, enrichment of agroforestry systems and, therefore, increased carbon capture and storage in soils and plantations.
This project is promoted together with:
“Nosotros nos dedicábamos a la agricultura y sembrío de arroz y decidimos cambiar a la acuicultura sostenible. Cuando sembramos aguajales, sin darnos cuenta, sembramos agua y eso trajo vida. Ahora queremos conocer más, conservar más, reforestar más para saber convivir con la naturaleza y hacer nuestro negocio con ella”.
Pucayagro has transitioned from traditional agriculture to a sustainable aquaculture model with transformative results, with production of paiche, paco and gamitana growing significantly. The company is also committed to forest conservation and restoration, through a project with the Amazon Business Alliance that has improved the productivity of its plant, the quality of water resources and soil, and the preservation of 210 hectares of forest through sustainable cocoa and coffee plantations.
