How does a Bonsucro certification enable more farmers from the continent to access international markets? Advancing responsible practices amongst African producers is vital to our collective journey to transform the sector. Importantly, Bonsucro is working to ensure these tools are accessible, user-friendly, and locally adaptable to the needs of African producers. In my experience, Bonsucro certification can be a powerful catalyst for building and sustaining partnerships, especially amongst smallholder growers. As an example, Bonsucro certification requires the development of a climate change adaptation and mitigation plan, which strengthens both growers’ and millers’ resilience against climate impacts.
