Niagro-Nichirei do Brasil Agrícola Ltda is a subsidiary of Nichirei Corporation of Japan (www.nichirei.co.jp), founded in Petrolina, in the State of Pernambuco, in 1991, with the aim of developing a project of Acerola with high standards of quality and productivity.

Since 1995, Niagro has become a Brazilian leader and pioneer in production, industrialization, and commercialization of Acerola products. Since then, it has been expanding commercialization of its products in national and international markets, and has been establishing a better quality standard. Through its own technology, it has developed specific products, such as Acerola Concentrates, as well as it has added to its production line the processing of other fruit pulps besides Acerola, such as Pineapple, Assai, Cashew, Guava, Soursop, Mango, Passion Fruit, Strawberry, and Grape.

Nowadays, Niagro processes around 8.000 tons of Acerola/year, and it has been constantly improving its processing methods. In order to assure that only the best Acerola fruits are used as raw material to its products, the quality and sanitary controls are under a constant supervision, since planting.

This is a region traditionally known for its development in medical, gastronomical, and tourism areas.
