Verticalization of the activities in the Cunha Agrarian Reform Settlement is sought through the construction of an equipped agroindustry and training of the community members on Cerrado fruit transformation and agroecological horticulture. This will add value to the products, while at the same time ecological conscience will be built, the social aspect and basic commercialization will be developed. The following activities will take place during execution of the project to insure achievement of the goals: community awareness-building activities emphasizing the importance of the project; construction of an agroindustrial processing unit; qualification in good manufacturing practices, and Cerrado fruit processing for 30 people in 22 settlement families; producer training for production of raw materials; development of a seal for the products; research on the impacts of the project at three different periods before, during and after implementation.
