For the second time, the Plurinational State of Bolivia participates in the Hand-in-Hand Investment Forum, presenting three strategic investment cases aligned with national priorities and the vision of Living Well (Vivir Bien): wild cacao, Amazonian fruits, and domestic camelids. These sectors represent not only economic opportunities but also Bolivia's deep-rooted connection between biodiversity, ancestral knowledge, and sustainable development. 

Bolivia is a country rich in natural resources and home to profound ancestral wisdom. Over 41% of its population identifies as Indigenous, and more than half of its territory is covered by forests. The worldview of its Indigenous Nations places life at the center and recognizes Mother Earth as the source and foundation of existence. This vision guides Bolivia’s political commitment to protect nature, ensure food sovereignty, and promote inclusive rural development. 

Through this partnership with FAO and under the Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Bolivia reaffirms its commitment to multilateralism, the self-determination of peoples, and balance with Mother Earth. By investing in high-potential sectors such as cacao, Amazonian fruits, and camelids, Bolivia seeks to enhance competitiveness, productivity, and the sustainable management of natural resources, while promoting social justice and economic inclusion for Indigenous Peoples, small-scale producers, and rural families.
