In addition to the poor wages and job security there are disconcerting labor conditions: little to no toilets; lack of potable water; sub-standard meals; lack of protection from pesticides or poisonous snakes in the fields; lack of compensation or help when becoming injured whilst working; and a lack of available mechanisms for laborers to file complaints.

| 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.
You might also find this press release on water of interest: http://olamgroup.com/news/coffee-plantation-tanzania-serves-water-stewardship-standard/#sthash.HJ79Gx2c.dpbs
I found the overall listings for Olam and I’ll see if any need updating.
Best regards
Nikki" | "Hi Angela, The 2,000 ha is correct.
