About the initiative
The best of our biomes is on its way
In areas home to some of Latin America’s greatest biodiversity, thousands of associations, cooperatives, and small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) help preserve ecosystems by sustainably producing goods rich in colors, flavors, and ancestral knowledge. Since 2019, the Biomes at Your Fingertips initiative has supported these businesses in accessing new markets, generating income and strengthening local economies.
How it works
We support the commercialization of biodiversity-based businesses that contribute to income generation and the preservation of Latin American biomes, strengthening the bioeconomy and access to markets. In addition to offering and delivering their products to consumers through a dedicated page on our marketplace, we provide benefits, financial solutions, and our logistics network so that the best of our biomes can reach consumers across the country.
These businesses sell everything from food and cosmetics to fashion, home décor, and design products. Through this initiative, products can now reach consumers’ homes in major urban centers within 48 hours. Participants receive training in online sales, commercial strategy, logistics, and digital marketing, including personalized mentoring sessions with experts.
The program is developed in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, in partnership with Consultoria Teçá Impacto, FIBO Impacto Social, and other organizations working in the sociobioeconomy.
Argentina
We support small-scale producers and artisans who contribute to the appreciation and preservation of the Gran Chaco and Atlantic Forest biomes. We have official stores for Alma Nativa, Fundación Niwok, and the Emprendedores por Naturaleza program of Fundación Rewilding Argentina.
Brazil
We drive the sales of sustainable products made by organizations working to preserve and promote four Brazilian biomes: the Amazon, Caatinga, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest. Key partners in the programs across these territories include Assobio, Idesam, Origens Brasil, Instituto Auá, Amazônia em Casa Floresta em Pé, Central do Cerrado, and the Bahia que Produz e Alimenta initiative.
Mexico
Thousands of producers who are part of community-based organizations in Oaxaca and Chiapas and who play a key role in preserving the biomes in these regions have begun listing and selling their products on Mercado Libre.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Every year, Mercado Libre selects businesses to participate in the program and receive training, benefits, and visibility on the platform. For initiatives in Brazil, you can register your business by completing this form.
