Huánuco, a region with enormous potential, has the opportunity to turn bio-businesses into the driving force behind its sustainable development. Despite facing challenges, its rich diversity of natural resources and a favorable institutional framework position the region as an ideal space to promote key value chains, such as those for shiringa latex and copaiba oil. These activities not only offer a sustainable economic alternative but also contribute to the conservation of Amazonian forests and biodiversity. This analysis provides insight into the opportunities and challenges surrounding these non-timber forest products.

Bio-businesses have the capacity to boost the local economy, generate new jobs, increase incomes, and improve the quality of life for the population, all while preserving ecosystems and mitigating the effects of climate change. Through responsible and coordinated management among the government, businesses, and local communities, it is possible to sustainably leverage Huánuco's resources, fostering resilience and opportunities for the future.
