Mazao Intelligence.

The missing link in a billion-dollar market of food chains.

Applied intelligence for family farming, public procurement, and sustainable supply chains.

Connecting production, procurement, and territory in one of the largest food markets in the country.

Mazao Intelligence is the Nia Hub solution to connect family farming, public procurement, and sustainable supply chains in one of the country's largest food markets.

It turns existing demand into a better-coordinated economic flow, with more predictability, efficiency, and distributed value.

— Market opportunity

A robust market still operating below its potential.

Brazil's National School Feeding Program (PNAE) moves around BRL 8 billion per year and is one of the largest public food procurement structures in the world.

As family farming procurement targets expand, so does the need for supply chains capable of delivering scale, regularity, compliance, and diversity. Mazao emerges at this inflection point.

— The problem

Demand exists. Coordination does not.

Across the country, producers struggle to access structured markets. Buyers face low predictability. Managers must meet targets without adequate instruments.

The outcome is familiar:

Lost opportunities.Inefficient procurement.Low productive inclusion.Logistical waste.A gap between public policy and real execution.
— What Mazao is

Economic coordination infrastructure.

Mazao organizes critical information on supply, demand, territory, and operations to support better decisions among producers, buyers, and funders.

More than technology, it is an intelligence layer for strategic food markets.

— Where it creates value

Priority applications.

Public Food ProcurementGreater execution capacity, supplier diversity, and operational efficiency.
Family FarmingBroader market access, predictability, and better commercial opportunities.
Sustainable Supply ChainsGreater visibility on origin, traceability, and socio-environmental performance.
Food SecurityBetter connection between local production and institutional supply.
New MarketsFoundation for regenerative, premium, and territorial supply chains.
— Why Nia Hub

Built from practice.

Mazao does not stem from abstract hypothesis. It is enabled by learnings accumulated in real operations such as Rolê Agroecológico, which connected producers, schools, logistics, public procurement, and territorial impact at scale.

Concrete experience turned into a scalable solution.

— Why now

The market has shifted.

Pressure for traceability, more ambitious public targets, the valorization of local supply chains, food security, and the climate transition have created new demand for applied intelligence. Mazao responds to this cycle.

Our operational prototype has been validated in the field. We are seeking investment to scale the technology platform.

When coordination improves, the entire market evolves.

Mazao Intelligence exists to transform strategic food chains into more efficient and inclusive systems.
