Sustainable Farming Certification Program

The coffee industry's only way to survive

In order to mitigate the knock-on effects of climate change, many international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have taken action to promote the concept of sustainable management. Among them, the scale, touch countries and coverage categories belong to the "UTZ certification organization" is the most extensive. UTZ Netherlands headquarters was established in 2002, certified types of coffee, tea, cocoa, from planting, trading, production to selling every process, UTZ is kind to nature and people attitude to each agricultural product to consumers.

"Utz Kapeh" stands for "good coffee" in Mayan, and many internationally renowned companies that support UTZ certification, such as IKEA in Sweden, Mars Group in the United States, Migros in Switzerland and Tchibo Coffee in Germany, believe that coffee with this certification can create a win-win situation for producers and consumers. On the one hand, it can provide consumers with good coffee products at low prices and high quality, on the other hand, it can help improve the production conditions of producers, so that both sides can enjoy a better life.

All participating members include producers, traders and coffee roasters, who work together to be responsible for the origin and production of coffee. UTZ has also developed a rigorous "traceability system" to create a complete production history for agricultural products, do things well in the right way, and ensure that every profit is actually returned to farmers and producing areas.
