Rainforest Alliance Banana

The image displays a banana featuring the Rainforest Alliance 'People & Nature' certification seal. This logo, redesigned in 2020 to feature a more modern green frog, indicates that the fruit was produced on a farm that adheres to rigorous environmental, social, and economic sustainability standards.

Bananas bearing this seal are typically grown in tropical regions such as Costa Rica, Guatemala, Colombia, and Ecuador. Major international brands like Chiquita and Dole, as well as European retail brands like REWE Beste Wahl, frequently source from Rainforest Alliance-certified plantations to ensure better labor practices and biodiversity protection. Ownership depends on the specific brand distributing the fruit, but the certification itself is managed by the Rainforest Alliance, an international non-profit organization headquartered in the United States and the Netherlands.
