Don,

Interesting possibility, planting Açai in Costa Rica.

I read the story about the "antioxidantes" but right now ...there is no market yet. Sooner or later there will be a demand for these berries.

I will look into it!

Muito obrigado.

Jose Maria,

Check out this information from Embrapa the Brazilian agricultural research agency on açai, O cultivo de açai . It is in Portuguese but you should be able to understand it ok. There is a good local market here for açai for making ice cream and other commercial uses as well as the pulp for making drink. The export market is also strong currently.

Muito obrigado dk!

I feel very comfortable with Portuguese.

Açai seems to be a palm with future. There may be some already here , I will plant some . The climate here is comparable with Amazonas!
