In the present work, we approach the valuation process of the açaí in the municipality of Cametá. Thus, two islands – Cacoal and Cuxipiarí – which live on the açaí extraction were used as a territorial delimitation. And on those islands, there are four riverine communities. The main aim of this research is to investigate how the expansion and valuation process of the açaí happens in the foreign market in the way of life of the riverine communities of the municipality of Cametá; and what has changed as regards the society, economy, and culture in the life of those communities which extract the açaí – their main working activity. We search for identifying the use of the territory as resource and shelter, used by the riverine communities, and by social actors such as cooperative and processing company of the açaí. The methodology used was that of the application of semi-estructured questionnaires and interviews with MP4, as well as the analysis of several official documents and institutional reports. The period considered was from the 1990’s because at that moment the açaí gains a broader acceptance in the foreign market and intensifies its commercialization process.
