The Cerrado Coffee Producers' Association Council CACCER (Conselho das Associações dos Cafeicultores do Cerrado), the organization made 20up by the Associations and Cooperatives of the Cerrado Region coffee producers, has announced its commitment to the Sustainable Agriculture Network Standards (Rainforest Alliance Certified)

The great advantage of this commitment is that coffee buyers will now be able to buy a high quality product, from known sources and certified by the Sustainable Agriculture Network (Rainforest Alliance Certified), which ensures that its production has followed adequate economic, environmental and social criteria.  Eduardo Trevisan, Imaflora's coffee coordinator, estimates that within five years approximately one million 60 kg-coffee bags will be certified according to the Cerrado/Rainforest Alliance.
