Introduction

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

Alliance cocoa 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:

• Market uptake: sales of Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa

• Program reach: Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa production

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

the data in this report is collected via our online traceability system, Marketplace 2.0.

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.

We look forward to receiving your feedback. For more information, please contact
