BRCGS Agents and Brokers certification is an internationally recognized standard for companies that trade, import, or distribute products, ensuring rigorous management of product safety, quality, and authenticity throughout the supply chain. This certification is crucial for establishing confidence among business partners and retailers by demonstrating a robust quality management system, comprehensive traceability, and an uncompromising approach to food and feed safety at every point of handling.

The Organic certification verifies that products are produced, handled, and traded in strict compliance with the highest organic standards. This means only approved farming practices are used—no synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or GMOs—ensuring environmentally responsible agriculture, protection of biodiversity, and support for sustainable rural economies. Organic certification also requires strict traceability and independent inspection at every stage of the supply chain.

USDA Organic certification ensures that products are produced and handled according to the rigorous standards of the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Organic Program. This certification guarantees that products contain at least 95% organic ingredients, are free from synthetic pesticides, genetically modified organisms, and prohibited substances, and are managed with strict traceability and environmental stewardship. Annual inspections by accredited certifiers verify compliance, ensuring product integrity and access to the US organic market.

Rainforest Alliance certification demonstrates commitment to sustainable agriculture, climate resilience, and responsible business practices. The certification assures that certified products are sourced from farms and supply chains that meet rigorous environmental, social, and economic standards, including ecosystem preservation, responsible use of resources, and stronger livelihoods for farmers and communities. Rainforest Alliance also requires regular audits and a transparent chain of custody to guarantee integrity from farm to customer.

Fairtrade Certified guarantees that commodities have been sourced from producers who adhere to strict social, economic, and environmental standards. This certification protects the rights of workers, ensures safe working conditions, and enables farmers to receive a Fairtrade minimum price as well as an additional premium for community development. The Fairtrade mark is independently audited and helps drive positive impact in communities where our products originate

Fairtrade International certification takes fair trading principles a step further, ensuring that supply chains operate under the rigorous oversight of Fairtrade International. It covers a broad spectrum of requirements, including sustainable farming, ethical trade practices, labor rights, and transparent business relationships. This certification allows Daarnhouwer to source and supply Fairtrade products while supporting long-term improvement for farmers and their cooperatives.
