Should I commit to SD/SI if I am not responsible for end consumer packaging? I am a trader or a processor. What is my role in this brand-led approach? I am a foodservice/retail brand. Am I required to pay SD/SI? I am a packer supplying a foodservice/retail brand. Am I required to pay SD/SI? I am a private label packer supplying different retail brand owners. What do I need to do? I am a tea brand owner (not foodservice/retail) supplied by third-party packers to whom we outsource our manufacturing. What do I need to do? We are a brand marketing both tea and herbal products. Will we have different SD/SI requirements for these crops, even though we use them in the same product? What will happen if a retailer does not include SD/SI in contracts with their packers? TRACEABILITY What is the goal of end-to-end Traceability? What is MultiTrace? How can traceability in MultiTrace support my sustainability and Rainforest Alliance certification efforts? Who is responsible for traceability? What tea products are in scope of traceability? What are the traceability levels in tea? When do I report traceability? How do I make sure I am compliant with my applicable traceability requirements?We advise implementing a robust system of quarterly spot checks, verifying if a sample of incoming volumes matches with corresponding traceability documentation.
This applies to all products carrying the Rainforest Alliance seal or to volumes linked to an off-pack claim. TRANSACTIONS IN MULTITRACE – GENERAL How do I access my traceability account to perform traceability? My volumes of Rainforest Alliance Certified tea are still in Marketplace. How do I report these sales onwards to my buyers? What data do I need to report a transaction in MultiTrace? What are selling marks and why are they important? I am a Supply Chain BYB Directory Certificate Holder (trader, packer), what traceability activities do I need to report? I am a farm Certificate Holder. What traceability activities do I need to report? How do I declare a sale or purchase of tea through an auction? Do auction brokers need to declare sales done through an action? My buyer is purchasing green leaf, what am I required to do in MultiTrace? I am selling volumes of certified tea, but I don’t want the producer information to be visible in my transaction.
What can I do? How do I simplify reporting in my traceability account? Will SD and SI have separate payments in MTT? How can the amounts of SD and SI be set, and how can it be ensured that farm certificate holders are paid the full amounts, particularly under the segregation traceability type? How will the SD be distributed to the producers on pro rata basis while the sales of a particular quarter came from several producers and different quarter which triggered that SD? TRANSACTIONS IN MULTITRACE – REDEEMING I am a brand owner. Do I need to commit and pay SD/SI on the entire tea volume I buy or only on those volumes I “redeem” from the online traceability platform? What if a sale was made prior to July 1st and reported July 1st or later? What redeemed product types are in scope of SD/SI? We produce a product combining tea with other ingredients (i.e., a multi-ingredient product), do we need to pay SD/SI? What constitutes single-ingredient or multi-ingredient in the case of tea? What is the producer supposed to update in MultiTrace? I am not receiving volumes from my supplier.
