[HIGHLIGHTS] The hard work of Brazil nut pickers in the Amazon jungle

Up to 80,000 indigenous families in Bolivia are involved in harvesting Brazil nuts. By 2022, nearly 4.5 million hectares have been converted to agricultural land, 18 percent of which is forest.

The Netherlands (35%), the United States (20%) and Germany (14%) were the main destinations for Brazil nut exports, totalling $250 million, according to IBCE. The kilo of shelled Brazil nuts is traded between 25 and 60 euros per kilo, depending on the container. More expensive than almonds or other cashews.
