Juruena Valley Compact is one of the regional PCI Compacts active in the Mato Grosso Landscape in Brazil and is also a Verified Sourcing Area (VSA) pilot. The Compact, which includes two municipalities (Juruena and Cotriguaçu), is made of 17 signatories from private, public, civil society sectors and producers. The partnership signifies an active commitment to the sustainable production of commodities such as beef, cocoa and timber in the region, whilst also focusing on enhancing conservation of the natural protected forest areas and including local communities and smallholders in order to improve their livelihoods.
The Compact also includes Field-level Programs such as:
- Sustainable Production of Calves Program – Fundação Carrefour, Acrimat, NatCap
- Nosso Leite Program – Sebrae, Casterleite
These programs are established in partnership with private sector partners to implement investment and innovative production models for the protection of forests, and to promote sustainable production over the commodity supply chains.
