FAQ.- Can a polygon cover several plots of land where coffee is cultivated?

Polygons must be specifically designated for each plot of land dedicated to coffee cultivation, ensuring precise identification of the coffee’s source. Although a polygon can physically cover multiple plots, each must be individually represented to maintain transparency and traceability of the coffee. In the context of a due diligence statement, it is imperative to include multiple polygons if the coffee originates from various plots. This is crucial to verify that the coffee complies with regulations and sustainable production standards, including no deforestation. Utilising polygons for non-specific land areas, which only include coffee cultivation plots in parts of them, contradicts the purpose of precision and accountability in the coffee supply chain.
