As we continue the exploration of bioeconomy possibilities that began with the publication "Re-Imagining Bioeconomy for Amazonia", this report serves as an essential continuation, spotlighting the specific bioeconomy landscapes of each of the eight Amazonian countries. Building on the insights and frameworks discussed in the original publication, this document provides a focused analysis of the sector's current state, main challenges and future potential in each country. The original study underscored the transformative power of bioeconomy in harmonizing economic growth with environmental stewardship. This countries profile takes that foundational work a step further by presenting a detailed examination of how countries are engaging with bioeconomy principles, adopting a territorial approach. In the pages that follow, we will explore national strategic initiatives and sectoral advancements within the bioeconomy, as well as local perceptions from private and public actors. Key findings will be presented, including the nation's approach to leveraging its natural resources, such as its rich biodiversity, agricultural prowess, and innovative biotechnological developments. Each section will provide insights into how the country is capitalizing on these resources to drive sustainable economic growth while addressing cultural, environmental and social considerations.
