Mapacho Mói is harvested in the Alto Juruá region, where the borders of Peru and the state of Acre meet, after the town of Marechal Thaumaturgo. There, the Ribeirinho people have settled in an area that today comprises a reserve.
The Ribeirinho come from the northeastern region of Brazil or, at least, descend from a lineage of northeasterners who fled the region a century ago to escape the Rubber crises.
The history of the Ribeirinhos is rich and diverse, the first members of their community arrived on the banks of the rivers and beaches where they reside today. Their plantations follow a sense of self-sufficiency and environmental responsibility, preserving the forests and rivers that surround them.
