Cocoa
The Rainforest Alliance works with almost one million cocoa farmers worldwide—from West Africa (which produces 70 percent of the world’s cocoa) to Indonesia, Honduras, and beyond. Together with local farming communities and our global partners, we work to tackle closely interlinked challenges, such as deforestation, rural poverty, and child labor. Follow the frog to learn how!

Rainforest Alliance Certified Cocoa
Our green frog seal promotes collective action for people and nature. That means helping cocoa-growing communities to farm in ways that protect forests, promote worker well-being, and build thriving rural livelihoods.

Tea
For millions for people around the world, making a steaming hot cup of tea is part of life’s daily ritual. But what if we all took a moment before that first sip to think about the farmers and farmworkers who depend on tea for their livelihoods, or the fragile ecosystems that tea estates belong to? Everything is interconnected: Follow the frog to learn how you can make a difference.
