Introduction

The main goal of this report is to present the scope and scale of the Rainforest

Alliance and UTZ coffee certification programs in 2020 – calendar year. The report is

created to inform our stakeholders and is part of our commitment to transparency.

The report focuses on the key indicators related to:

• Market uptake: sales of Rainforest Alliance Certified and UTZ certified coffee;

• Program reach: estimated Rainforest Alliance Certified and UTZ certified coffee production, premiums being paid and multi-certification.

This report is part of the Rainforest Alliance monitoring and evaluation system. Most of

the data in this report is collected via our online Certification and Traceability

systems.

We do our best to ensure that all the information in this report is accurate and

reliable. As much of the data is collected by third parties, we are aware that there

may be some shortcomings.

Summary

In 2020, both the Rainforest Alliance and the UTZ certification programs continued with

the growth trend we saw in the previous year, with respect to most of the relevant

indicators. Estimated certified production volume, the number of farmers, certified area

(ha), and global producer sales all reported increases in both certification programs.

The Rainforest Alliance and UTZ program demonstrate a similar growth when it comes

to certified estimated production volume; 14% in the UTZ and 15% in the Rainforest

Alliance certification program.

As for the sales of certified products, the UTZ certification program reports a growth of

20%, compared to 2% in the Rainforest Alliance certification program, resulting in a

supply and demand ratio of 57% for UTZ and 52% for the Rainforest Alliance program.

Putting these numbers in a more historical context we can conclude that the UTZ

certification program has increased 94% in sales since 2017, whereas the Rainforest

Alliance program has increased 44% since 2017.

In 2020, the estimated certified production area increased by 10% compared to 2019. Growth is shown in all regions but particularly driven by an increase in Africa (+18%).

In 2020, the number of farmers increased by 18% vs. 2019. The positive trend is show across all regions; Africa (+17%), Latin America (+15%), and Asia Pacific (+34). Numbers have more than tripled in Tanzania and Uganda.

In 2020, the estimated certified volume increased by 15% compared to 2019, with most increases (in MT) coming from Latin America. Africa saw a 24% growth, while estimated volume in Asia Pacific decreased by 4%. The top 3 producing countries are: Brazil, Colombia and Ethiopia.

In 2020, despite COVID-19, the number of workers increased by14% vs. 2019, with strong growth in Latin America (+23%), and to a lesser extent in Africa (+12%), and Asia Pacific (+13%). This can be explained by more certificate holders and more production volume which increased the demand for labor.

In 2020, the estimated certified production area increased slightly (+7%) compared to 2019. The growth was mainly

driven by gains in Africa (+15%) and to a lesser extent in Latin America (+9%).

In 2020, the number of farmers increased by 6% vs. 2019, driven by Asia Pacific (+31%) and Latin America (+15%). The number of farmers in Africa decreased by 5%, due to lower numbers in Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ethiopia. Nevertheless, there were strong gains in Tanzania and Rwanda.

In 2020, the estimated certified volume increased by 14% vs 2019, mainly led by Latin America (+19%). Asia and Pacific showed an increase of 7%, whereas Africa saw a drop of 9%. The top 3 producing countries are Brazil, Vietnam, and

Colombia.

In 2020, as opposed to the other indicators, the number of workers decreased by 8% compared to 2019. This trend is reflected on a regional level, with the largest drop in Latin America (-14%). The lower number can partly be explained by

COVID-19 restrictions on work and travel.

Most UTZ certified coffee

was sold from producers

in Brazil (39% of global

sales), Vietnam (20%),

and Honduras (12%).

The strong sales growth in

Vietnam is multi-factored;

a rising roaster and

consumer demand for

certified coffee,

especially some of the big

roasters increased their

demand for certified

Robusta, a large

production volume, and

coffee prices in Vietnam

are favorable compared

to other countries.

In Colombia, a perceived

scarcity of UTZ coffee

triggered large purchases

mid-2020.

Global average UTZ Premium ($c/lbs)

Global Arabica Robusta

UTZ global coffee

premium increased with

4% vs. 2019 to 2.24 $c/lbs.

The UTZ premium is an

additional cash amount

paid above the market

price for a similar

conventional (non-

certified/non-verified)

product. It is mandatory

and agreed upon

between the certified

group or producer and

the first buyer.

In line with previous

years, a higher premium

is paid for Arabica. The

gap with Robusta

premiums increased as

they grew in opposite

directions.

Volumes in Asia Pacific

increased by 7%, led by

Vietnam, Laos, and

China, triggered by

both demand and

farming practices.

Africa (-9%) saw drop in

most countries, except

in Rwanda and

Tanzania which can be

explained by the

(re)entry of large farmer

groups and liberation of

Latin America Africa Asia-Pacific

The continued global

increase in supply and

demand ratio is shown

for Africa and Asia

Pacific. The increases

are due to higher

demand for certified

coffee resulting in

higher sales.

In Latin America the

supply and demand

ratio decreased for the

first time in years. This

can be explained by a

higher increase of

certified production

(+19%) than sales

(+12%), mainly driven by

Brazil and Nicaragua.
