Who are we?
Acrocomia Solutions is a division of Agroenergias SRL, involved in the assessment of integral projects and the investigation and development of the species Acrocomia Aculeata.
Acrocomia Solutions have their central offices in Paraguay - a country privileged by nature for generating biomass, for which we believe we are strategically well positioned to investigate, develop and offer our clients sustainable alternatives that are comparable to different circumstances and places in the world.
In order to offer the most advanced "know how" in this field, Acrocomia Solutions possesses its own investigation division, and works with other agricultural investigators (see alliances), both national and international.
Adding to this, a wide variety of knowledge and experience in this field allows us to offer diverse services, ranging from preliminary studies and consultancy up to implementing and managing projects.
Together with our clients, we assess and determine their needs, so the contribution of Acrocomia Solutions can consist in the growth of a concrete part of a project or in supplying an integral solution.
