The SAN awards the Rainforest Alliance Certified eco-label to farms (not companies or products). Farmers may apply for certification for all land in production and companies may request that all of their source farms be certified.
Certifies farms for coffee, bananas, cocoa, orange, pineapple, flower and fern farms according to environmental and social standards.
Some smaller crops, often grown in association with these commodities, are also certified, including macadamia nuts, passion fruit and plantains.
