Policy: Measures to Address Shortages of Certified Volumes During the Certification Cycle

This binding document is currently valid, since June 26^th, 2023. It will remain valid until further notice.

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.
