L’açaí en France d'Outre-Mer : La Guyane française vers une nouvelle frontière agricole de l'Euterpe oleracea dans l'Amazonie septentrionale
Originating from the palm Euterpe oleracea, the açaí is an endemic fruit of the Amazon rainforest, the consumption of which has grown strongly in Brazil since the 1990s and is emerging in other regions of the world. Consumed mainly in the form of pulp and erected as a "superfruit" by marke...
