Part 6: Acai Production - The Big Picture

Around 50 years ago, Acai production was nearly non-existent outside of the Amazon region due to travel and transportation in and out of the rain forest being difficult. The Acai berry was not seen far from its natural habitat due to unreliable roads and limited or non-existent rail service. By the 1990's, though, an effective transportation infrastructure reached many areas of the Amazon.
