Abstract: 

Açaí is becoming an important economic factor in the Amazon region, due to the full use of the product; the beaten fruit is transformed into açaí, rich in beneficial properties for our organism, the pits serve as fertilizer, from the stem, the hearts of palm are removed, the roots are used for medicinal purposes, the leaves and peels serve as raw material for crafts and the like. Based on these factors, we propose to investigate the production flow of açaí, in order to analyze the production and distribution logistics process of açaí produced in the municipality of Anori-Am, as it is a growing hub in this sector that has been gaining space in the market for the quality of the product offered. This research is based on theoretical assumptions, described in books and published articles, which justified our idea about the work developed. As a methodology we used exploratory research, where we did bibliographic studies, case studies and data collections that strengthened the data described here with true facts. It is a qualitative and quantitative research, since we analyze both the quality of the product and the increasing percentage of production, as well as the management of logistics components applied to the açaí production chain. Between the lines of this article, readers will be able to obtain information on the nutritional values added to açaí, as well as the functionality of all segments that make up the entire production chain, from cultivation, harvesting, processing, storage and marketing.
