Foreword
his report presents the scope and scale of the Rainforest Alliance and UTZ primary certification programs in 2019 – the second year after our merger. It currently includes our coffee, cocoa, and tea programs. The report focuses on the key indicators related to: • •
Market uptake: sales of Rainforest Alliance Certified™ and UTZ certified crops; Program reach: estimated Rainforest Alliance Certified and UTZ certified production, numbers of producers and workers, and certified area in different geographies.
The report is part of the Rainforest Alliance monitoring and evaluation system. Most of the data in this report is collected via our online Certification and Traceability systems. We do our best to ensure that all the information in this report is accurate and reliable. As a lot of the data is collected by third parties, we are aware that there may be some shortcomings.
