Amazon Oil is a company that is part of the chemical-oil industry from Amazonia, Brazil, that operates in the area of cold extraction of Amazonian oilseeds. The oils produced from Amazonian oilseeds are used by the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food, and textile industries in perfumes, toiletries, beauty products, as dyeing and emollient additives in textiles, as well as ingredients in foods. The headquarter of Amazon Oil is located in the city of Ananindeua, which is part of the metropolitan area of Belém, the capital of the state of Pará. Its location is ideal because it provides easy access to the rivers in the basin of the Amazon, such as the Tocantins River and the Tapajós River. It is also near Marajo Island, which is the largest sea-river archipelago in the world and has a wealth of oilseed diversity. The good infrastructure offered by the river-ocean port of Belém opens the oil riches of the Amazon rain forest to the world.
