The Quilombos of Brazil Certification Seal Delivered by MDA Strengthens the Sustainable Economy, Ensures the Origin of Quilombola Products, and Boosts Family Agriculture in the Recôncavo Baiano

The Quilombos of Brazil Seal represents much more than a certification: it is a symbol of recognition, identity, and appreciation of quilombola communities, according to an article published.

In the Recôncavo Baiano, this achievement gained prominence in the municipality of Cachoeira, where the traditional products from the Kaonge and Mutecho Acutinga quilombos officially received the seal during the 17th Cultural and Gastronomic Festival of the Oyster, held on the last day of October 11.

The initiative, promoted by the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Family Agriculture (MDA), reinforces the importance of the origin and quality of sustainably produced food, strengthening the productive and social inclusion of these communities.

Quilombola Certification Strengthens Sustainable Economy in the Recôncavo

During the event, the Secretary of Quilombola Traditional Territories and Production Systems (SETEQ/MDA), Edmilton Cerqueira, highlighted that origin identification seals are essential tools for ensuring food and nutritional security and territorial protection.

Products such as dende oil, honey, liqueurs, seasonings, and coconut oil now have official certification, which adds value and recognition to local production.

For quilombola and activist Ananias Viana, from Quilombo Kaonge, the seal represents a strengthening of trade and recognition of collective work.

According to him, the certification opens new doors for marketing and visibility of quilombola products at fairs, cultural events, and digital platforms.

The Quilombos of Brazil Seal also symbolizes the expansion of economic autonomy and the encouragement of a sustainable economy, connecting tradition with broader and fairer market opportunities.

The initiative from MDA, in partnership with the Ministry of Racial Equality (MIR), the Ministry of Culture (MinC), and the Palmares Cultural Foundation, integrates the Support Program for Strengthening Ethnodevelopment (PAFE).

The goal is to increase the productive and social inclusion of traditional peoples and communities. Along with the Indigenous Seals of Brazil and Traditional Peoples and Communities of Brazil, the Quilombos of Brazil Seal strengthens family agriculture and ensures visibility for sustainable production practices.

The certification directly contributes to the competitive positioning of products in local and regional markets, valuing cultural identity and stimulating income generation.

The government strategy seeks not only to certify but also to protect traditional ways of life and knowledge, preserving quilombola territory and culture.

Cultural Recognition and Free Access to Certification

Another relevant point is that obtaining the Origin Identification Seals is free of charge.

Communities can apply through the site www.vitrine.mda.gov.br, provided they are registered in Family Agriculture and present the required documentation for the National Seal of Family Agriculture (Senaf).

This public policy brings quilombos closer to market opportunities, reduces bureaucracy, and encourages the formalization of local production.

Thus, the Quilombos of Brazil Seal consolidates itself as a milestone of cultural appreciation and sustainable development, reinforcing the importance of solidarity economy, productive diversity, and the identity of quilombola communities in the national scenario.
