Tea

This policy exception has been developed to support the traceability reporting process for tea certificate holders.

This policy has been developed to align the requirements of the Rainforest Alliance 2020 Farm Standard with the context of Tea farming operations in Kenya. It is applicable to both Rainforest Alliance Farm Certificate Holders and Certification Bodies operating in the Tea Sector in Kenya.

This policy mandates a change to the requirement to use RA-S-MT-17-V1.1 Annex S16: Sustainability Investment Plan Template by Certificate Holders producing tea (Camelia sinensis) under Rainforest Alliance certification.
