A Babassu palmnut (Orbignya speciosa) processing unit will be implemented in a community where a group of woman crackers will manage the project. Four municipalities in the Lower Parana ba Piauiense, state of Piau , will benefit from this unit, involving approximately forty families from each municipality. Better exploitation of the economic potential present in this palmnut will increase the income and improve the quality of life for these women who identify themselves as Babassu palmnut crackers. The community will be sensitized about the need for this project, the area for implementation of the project will be prepared, markets for the production will be sought, and planning, monitoring and evaluation of the project will take place during the execution of the proposed activities.
