The objective of this article is to analyze the stages of tucumã production in relation to the added value and the resources mobilized in each of the cooperatives in the state of Pará that work with tucumã (Astrocaryum Vulgare Mart.) and that trade with the large company in the market, through the work of the small rural producer. They are: CAMTAUÁ; COOPIRITUIA; COFRUTA; COOMAC AND COPASMIG. A very important factor raised is the possibility of interaction and sharing of information between them, which aims to promote social inclusion and compliance with SDGs 1, 2, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17, whose integration of their actions can provide the eradication of poverty in all its forms. The research answers the following problem: at what stage of the tucumã production and value creation chain are the cooperatives surveyed? It also aims to identify the strategies developed to propose integrative methodologies and information sharing for the inclusion of new formulations in the value creation process.
