What is Coapetilla?

Coapetilla is a desert fruit produced exclusively by cacti of the Stenocereus genus. These species thrive in extremely arid environments, where water is scarce, nutrients are limited, and extreme temperatures are the norm.

Water Stress

The Coapetilla represents an innovative food alternative that helps reduce water stress in arid and semi-arid areas, thanks to its minimal water footprint, its high adaptability to eroded and low-fertility soils, as well as its exceptional resistance to extreme climates.

Food Security

Thanks to its high nutritional density and excellent productive yield, the Coapetilla strengthens global food security in arid and semi-arid regions. Its ability to grow in low-fertility soils with limited water availability makes it an essential resource for addressing today’s food challenges.

Advancing the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals

The cultivation of Coapetilla has the potential to directly contribute to six Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established in the United Nations 2030 Agenda:

1

No Poverty

2

Zero Hunger

6

Clean Water and Sanitation

12

Responsible Consumption and Production

13

Climate Action

15

Life on Land
