Policy on Measures to Address Shortages of Rainforest Alliance Certified Volumes During the Certification Cycle

14 July 2023

In cases where there are significant restrictions to available volumes of Rainforest Alliance Certified commodities, the Rainforest Alliance will consider requests to pre-authorize a percentage of new harvest volumes to be transacted while farm certificate holders are finalizing the process to obtain their certification cycle. This policy outlines the conditions under which these measures apply.
