Supply Chain Certificate Holders can use the default conversion rates of some Rainforest Alliance Certified crops in the tables below to indicate their volumes.
Please be aware that these conversion rates can only be used for the total volume indication during registration in the RACP, our certification and traceability platform. During this process, you must indicate the estimated total volume (certified and non-certified) of crop equivalent in twelve months. For more information on the thresholds, please refer to point 1.3.7 in the 2020 Rainforest Alliance Certification and Auditing Rules.
Note: For Identity Preserve and Segregation traceability, you should continue to input the actual conversion rates of their physical processes.
