Does the Production Standard v5.1 impact on the certification of smallholder farmers certified under the Production Standard for Smallholder Farmers (SHF) v1? 

12th April 2022

Groups of smallholders certified (or applying for certification) against the Production Standard for Smallholder Farmers V1 independently from a mill or included in a mill certification will not be affected. The Production Standard for Smallholder farmers has not changed and is still applicable as it is. Bonsucro is considering a revision of the SHF standard, but the scope and timing of the revision are still to be confirmed.
