Comment on data source
"Hi Angela The 2,000 ha is correct. Aviv is a 2,000 ha plantation in the Songea Rural District of Southern Tanzania with 1,025 ha of planted Arabica coffee and a wet mill processing facility. It is Rainforest Alliance and UTZ certified. Aviv volumes will be supplemented with a smallholder coffee programme which currently has 1,665 farmers, most of whom are already embraced by the Olam Livelihood Charter and who will be supported for future certification schemes. At peak season, the Aviv plantation employs up to 1,500 people.

Best regards Nikki"
