About
POLOPROBIO is an OSCIP, founded in 1998. Headquartered in Castanhal - PA, it has 657 associates (indigenous, rubber tapper, riverside and quilombola). It operates in 04 integration regions in the State of PA, Guamá, Marajó, Tocantins and Baixo Amazonas. Works with research, and reapplication of Social Technologies. Its partner is Seringô, made up of rubber tappers and artisans. While Poloprobio does the educational part, the Seringô organizes production and the market. It won several awards, such as FINEP for Innovation, Social Technology (FBB), Best Company for the Climate (Climate Venture), ODM-Brasil, Equatorial (PNUD), Samuel Benchimol and Entrepreneurship (Banco da Amazônia), Best Practices in Local Management ( CEF).
Poloprobio's mission is to seek the reactivation of the "rubber" activity in the Amazon, but not in the conventional system of the commodity, but with a new look, where the rubber tapper, instead of a workforce that produces raw and worthless rubber, starts to to be a family farmer, self-employed, producing quality rubber, ready-made products intended for niche markets. Thus, a new production chain for Amazonian rubber emerges, where, through TSs, ancestral traditional knowledge is improved and valued. New processes and products are developed, generating work, income and adding value to the production base, giving dignity to this population. Their lifestyles and identity are preserved and the forest is kept standing.
