Pacoua is a variety of Pacovan banana, generated by Embrapa Cassava and Fruits's Banana and Plantain Breeding Program. This cultivar is recommended for the Northern region of Brazil, especially the State of Para. It presents resistance to fruit plummeting and high rusticity, which is particularly important for producers of family farming. Among the exotic fruit species, banana is the most used in agroforestry systems in consortium with black pepper, guarana, cupuaçu and, especially, with cocoa. It is a product for fresh consumption with wide commercial acceptance throughout the state.
