The Ybá Project pilot was completed in March 2023. Around 100 kg of andiroba seeds were harvested by 21 community members in Dow's forest area. The seeds were sent to the Cofruta cooperative, which extruded the oil for use in Natura's personal care products. As a next step, the main lessons learned are being analyzed and will be incorporated into the next phase of the project.   

Also in March 2023, Dow launched the Honey/Meliponiculture project as part of the Ybá Project. Through this initiative, the community of Vila Mamorana is raising stingless bees native to the Amazon Rainforest to produce honey, generating an additional sustainable income opportunity for families in the region. In all, 50 bee boxes with hives have been installed in the area, with the potential to produce 50 kilos of honey by December 2023. 

The project also promoted training for the Mamorana Village Farmers' Association, made up mostly of black and mixed-race women, in the process of harvesting the seeds, in business skills, in safety, such as first aid, and in the seasonal cycles of the plants/environment, all of which are essential for them to harvest and market the seeds safely.
