Abstract: The municipality of Abaetetuba – PA is the third largest producer of açaí fruits in the state of Pará. Traditionally, the production is concentrated in the lowland areas from the management of native açaizais. And to meet the growing demand for the fruit, cultivars adapted to dry land and produced during the off-season were developed. This research aimed to carry out a diagnosis of agroforestry systems (AFS) with açaizeiro on dry land, in order to contribute with information for the improvement in the management of these systems in the municipality. The methodology used in the development of the research was that of the case study and the qualitative approach. The AFS arrangements with açaizeiro on land developed by the farmers and the main difficulties for the implementation of these systems were characterized, such as: implementation costs, the need for training the farmers, access to credit lines and frequent technical monitoring. The species used in the systems contribute to the food security of the family and their surplus is sold
