ENHANCING HEALTH BENEFITS: ANALYSIS OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION IN SEEDS OF FRUITS FROM THE AMAZON FOR MEDICAL USE

Abstract

Brazil stands as a global powerhouse in fruit production, boasting abundant resources, favorable climatic conditions, and substantial investments in infrastructure and logistics innovation. This paper explores Brazil's prominent position in the fruit industry, delving into key factors driving its success as one of the largest fruit-producing countries worldwide. Drawing upon data from the Brazilian Institute of Fruit Growing (IBRAF), the study highlights Brazil's remarkable fruit output, reaching 43.5 million tons in 2017. Notably, 53% of these fruits are earmarked for commercial purposes, underscoring the significance of Brazil's fruit sector in both domestic and international markets. The distribution of fruit production across states further elucidates Brazil's geographic diversity, with São Paulo, Bahia, Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, and Pará emerging as leading fruit-producing regions. By examining the interplay of geographical, climatic, and economic factors, this research offers insights into Brazil's fruit industry landscape and its implications for agricultural development and economic growth. Through a nuanced analysis, this paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of Brazil's role in global fruit production and stimulate further research and investment in this vital sector
