Introduction

The main goal of this report is to present the scope and scale of the RA tea program

in 2018 – calendar year. The report is written in order to inform our stakeholders and is

part of our commitment to transparency.

The report focuses on the key indicators related to:

o Program reach: RA tea production and multi-certification of this production

o Market uptake: sales of RA tea

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

the data in this report is collected via our traceability systems.

We do our best to make sure that all of the information in this report is accurate and

reliable, but as much of the data is collected by third parties, we are aware that

there may be some shortcomings.
