Abstract Tropical crops are an important source of wealth in many countries. The current agribusiness model is based on the production a final commodity, leading to organic by-products (biowastes) that cases contain bioactive compounds with potential added value. exploitation these foundation circular economy leads generation greener bioprocesses for industry foreseeable economic improvements systems. This review aims point out idle opportunities agricultural systems and their associated biowastes contribute establishment bioeconomy. Hence, focus lies five tropical extensive crops: coffee, oil palm, sugar cane, banana, pineapple. first part explores wastes originated from coffee palm industrial process oriented use as starting material alternative obtention chemicals, otherwise obtained petrochemistry. second focuses prospective lignocellulosic rich biowaste derived industrialization A fundamental difference biomass compared other presence numerous not yet properly utilized, such antioxidants (i.e., caffeic acid, chlorogenic ferulic acid), well possible manufacture products interest cosmetic quinic acid) or pharmaceutical acid phenethyl ester). In case its obtaining chemicals glycerol carotenoids, bioenergy production.
