The strength of the Caatinga transformed into bioenergy, food, and sustainable innovation. The macaúba palm is a native species of the Caatinga biome, recognized for its natural resistance to drought and its ability to produce vegetable oil of high economic value. Macaúba Golden conducts studies, field tests, and agricultural management aimed at increasing the productive efficiency of this palm tree, integrating it into Golden Agro's regenerative agriculture model.
The species stands out for its adaptability to the hot climate of Pilão Arcado and for its environmental contribution, favoring soil recovery and regional biodiversity. Sustainable production The macaúba palm requires low irrigation and adapts easily to less fertile soils, making it a viable alternative for Caatinga areas and semi-arid regions.
Bioenergy and special oils The fruit stands out for its high oil yield used in biofuels, cosmetics, food products, and industrial chains seeking renewable inputs. Environmental regeneration With deep roots and high resilience, the macauba palm contributes to erosion control, improves water infiltration into the soil, and increases the supply of organic matter, reinforcing regenerative agriculture practices.

The macauba palm at Golden Agro
Macaúba Golden is part of the Golden Agro research hub, where management, propagation, and genetic adaptation experiments are conducted in partnership with TBB Genética, Atlantica Fertilizantes, and Gold Carbon 0. The goal is to develop productive, stable cultivars aligned with the bioenergy and premium plant-based product markets.
The experimental crops are monitored by environmental sensors and intelligent irrigation systems, ensuring accurate data for evaluating performance, productivity, and sustainability.
Macaúba has several high-value applications:
Vegetable oil for biofuels and the cosmetics industry
Pulp and kernel for food and nutritional products
Husk and biomass for energy purposes
Regenerative inputs for low-carbon agricultural models
The expansion of this crop opens up economic opportunities for the semi-arid region, creating new production chains aligned with the Brazilian bioeconomy.
