Yintoni isiqinisekiso seRainforest Alliance? Zithini "iimbotyi zamasele"?
Xa sithetha "ngeembotyi zexoxo", abantu abaninzi basenokungaqhelananga nalo, kuba eli gama okwangoku lingaqhelekanga kwaye likhankanywa kuphela kwezinye iimbotyi zexoxo. Ngenxa yoko, abantu abaninzi baya kuzibuza, yintoni kanye kanye "iimbotyi zexoxo"? Ngaba lichaza imbonakalo yeembotyi zexoxo? Enyanisweni, "iimbotyi zexoxo" zibhekisa kwiimbotyi zexoxo ezinesatifikethi seRainforest Alliance. Emva kokufumana isatifikethi seRainforest Alliance, baya kufumana uphawu olunentonga eluhlaza eprintiweyo kuyo, ngoko ke zibizwa ngokuba ziimbotyi zexoxo.
I-Rainforest Alliance (RA) yintlangano yamazwe ngamazwe engenzi nzuzo ekhusela indalo. Injongo yayo kukukhusela iintlobo ngeentlobo zezityalo kunye nokufezekisa iindlela zokuphila ezizinzileyo ngokutshintsha iindlela zokusetyenziswa komhlaba, amashishini kunye nokuziphatha kwabathengi. Kwangaxeshanye, iyaqatshelwa yiNkqubo yeSiqinisekiso seHlabathi seHlathi (FSC). Lo mbutho wasekwa ngo-1987 ngumbhali waseMelika olwela indalo, isithethi kunye nomlweli wezokusingqongileyo uDaniel R. Katz kunye nabaxhasi abaninzi bendalo. Ekuqaleni yayikukukhusela izixhobo zendalo zehlathi lemvula. Kamva, njengoko iqela lalikhula, laqala ukubandakanyeka kwiindawo ezininzi. Ngo-2018, i-Rainforest Alliance kunye ne-UTZ zabhengeza ukudibana kwazo. I-UTZ liqumrhu elizimeleyo elingelona elenza nzuzo, elingelona elenza rhulumente, elizimeleyo elisekelwe kumgangatho we-EurepGAP (European Union Good Agricultural Practice). Iqumrhu eliqinisekisayo liza kuqinisekisa ngokungqongqo zonke iintlobo zekofu esemgangathweni ophezulu kwihlabathi, ligubungela inyathelo ngalinye lemveliso ukusuka ekutyalweni kwekofu ukuya ekucutshungulweni. Emva kokuba imveliso yekofu ihlolwe ngokuzimeleyo kokusingqongileyo, kwezentlalo nakwezoqoqosho, i-UTZ iya kunika uphawu lwekofu olunoxanduva oluvunyiweyo.
Lo mbutho mtsha emva kokudibana ubizwa ngokuba yi-"Rainforest Alliance" kwaye uza kukhupha izatifikethi kwiifama nakwiinkampani zamahlathi ezihlangabezana nemigangatho epheleleyo, ebizwa ngokuba yi-"Rainforest Alliance Certification". Inxalenye yemali evela kulo mbutho ikwasetyenziselwa ukukhuselwa kwezilwanyana zasendle kwiindawo zokugcina izilwanyana zasehlathini kunye nokuphucula ubomi babasebenzi. Ngokwemigangatho yangoku yezatifikethi ye-Rainforest Alliance, le migangatho yenziwe ngamasebe amathathu: ulondolozo lwendalo, iindlela zokulima, kunye noluntu lwengingqi. Kukho imigaqo eneenkcukacha ezivela kwiinkalo ezifana nokukhuselwa kwamahlathi, ungcoliseko lwamanzi, indawo yokusebenza yabasebenzi, ukusetyenziswa kwezichumisi zeekhemikhali, kunye nokulahlwa kwenkunkuma. Ngamafutshane, yindlela yemveli yokulima engatshintshiyo imeko-bume yokuqala kwaye ityalwe phantsi komthunzi wamahlathi emveli, kwaye iluncedo ekukhuseleni i-ecology.
Iimbotyi zekofu ziimveliso zezolimo, ngoko ke zinokuvavanywa. Yikofu kuphela ephumelele uvavanyo kunye nesatifikethi enokubizwa ngokuba yi "Rainforest Alliance Certified Coffee". Esi siqinisekiso sisebenza iminyaka emi-3, apho ilogo yeRainforest Alliance inokuprintwa kwiphakheji yeembotyi zekofu. Ukongeza ekwaziseni abantu ukuba imveliso iqatshelwe, le logo ineziqinisekiso ezinkulu zomgangatho wekofu ngokwayo, kwaye imveliso inokuba neendlela zokuthengisa ezikhethekileyo kwaye ifumane indawo ephambili. Ukongeza, ilogo yeRainforest Alliance nayo ikhethekile kakhulu. Ayiloxoxo eliqhelekileyo, kodwa lixoxo lomthi elinamehlo abomvu. Eli xoxo lomthi ngokusisiseko lihlala kwihlathi lemvula elisempilweni nelingenangcoliseko kwaye linqabile. Ukongeza, amaxoxo yenye yeempawu ezisetyenziswa rhoqo ukubonisa ubungakanani bongcoliseko lokusingqongileyo. Ukongeza, injongo yokuqala yeRainforest Alliance yayikukukhusela amahlathi emvula ashushu. Ke ngoko, kunyaka wesibini wokusekwa komanyano, amaxoxo amiselwa ukuba asetyenziswe njengomgangatho kwaye asetyenziswa nanamhlanje.
Okwangoku, azikho "iimbotyi zexoxo" ezininzi ezinesatifikethi seRainforest Alliance, ikakhulu kuba oku kuneemfuno eziphezulu kwindawo yokutyala, kwaye ayingabo bonke abalimi bekofu abaya kubhalisela isatifikethi, ngoko ke kunqabile. KwiFront Street Coffee, iimbotyi zekofu ezifumene isatifikethi seRainforest Alliance ziquka iimbotyi zekofu zeDiamond Mountain ezivela kwiEmerald Manor yasePanama kunye neBlue Mountain coffee eyenziwe yiClifton Mount eJamaica. IClifton Mount okwangoku yeyona ndawo idumileyo eJamaica enesatifikethi se"Rainforest". Ikofu yeBlue Mountain No. 1 yaseFront Street Coffee ivela kwiClifton Mount. Inencasa efana neenati kunye nekoko, inobume obuthambileyo kunye nokulinganisela ngokubanzi.
Iimbotyi zekofu ezikhethekileyo kufuneka zidityaniswe neepakethe ezikumgangatho ophezulu, kwaye iipakethe ezikumgangatho ophezulu kufuneka zenziwe ngababoneleli abathembekileyo.
Singumvelisi ogxile ekuveliseni iingxowa zokupakisha ikofu kangangeminyaka engaphezu kwama-20. Siye saba ngomnye wabavelisi abakhulu beengxowa zekofu eTshayina.
Sisebenzisa iivalvu zeWIPF ezisemgangathweni ophezulu ezivela eSwitzerland ukugcina ikofu yakho itsha.
Siphuhlise iingxowa ezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo, ezifana neengxowa ezinomgquba kunye neengxowa ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe, kunye nezixhobo zePCR ezisandula ukuveliswa.
Zezona ndlela zibalaseleyo zokutshintsha iingxowa zeplastiki zesiqhelo.
Isihluzo sethu sekofu esithambileyo senziwe ngezinto zaseJapan, ezizezona zihluzo zibalaseleyo kwimarike.
Sifake ikhathalogu yethu, nceda usithumelele uhlobo lwebhegi, izinto ezisetyenzisiweyo, ubungakanani kunye nobungakanani obufunekayo. Ukuze sikunike iingcaphuno.
