In recent years, the global popularity of açaí has surged, driven by its perceived superfood status, resulting in increased demand for the Brazilian Amazon's berries. Despite being hailed as a bioeconomical and sustainable rainforest extract, the flourishing export market has fueled a high incidence of child labor in the açai trade.
