Certified organic coffee in Australia is coffee that has been grown and processed according to strict organic standards set by various certification bodies such as the Australian Certified Organic (ACO) or the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia (NASAA).
Organic coffee is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilisers. Instead, organic farmers rely on natural methods such as crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control to maintain the health of their coffee plants and soil.
Certification bodies ensure that the coffee meets these standards through regular inspections and testing of the coffee beans and production facilities. Once the coffee is certified organic, it can be labelled and sold as such, indicating to consumers that the coffee has been produced in an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible manner.
Australian Certified Organic (ACO) is a certification body that provides certification services to organic producers, processors, and traders in Australia and internationally. ACO is a subsidiary of Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA), a not-for-profit organisation that represents and advocates for organic and biodynamic farmers in Australia.
The ACO certification program ensures that organic products meet strict organic standards and are produced, processed, and traded without the use of synthetic chemicals, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or other prohibited inputs. The ACO standards are based on the National Standard for Organic and Biodynamic Produce, which is recognised by the Australian government.
To become certified by ACO, producers and processors must undergo a rigorous certification process that includes on-site inspections, testing of soil, water, and products, and an audit of their production and processing systems. Once certified, products can carry the ACO logo, which is a widely recognised symbol of organic integrity and quality.
In addition to certification, ACO also provides education and support to organic producers and processors, as well as consumer education about the benefits of organic products.
Choosing certified organic coffee can have several benefits, both for you and the environment. Here are some reasons why you should consider choosing certified organic coffee:
Overall, choosing certified organic coffee is a great way to support healthier, more sustainable coffee production practices, and to enjoy high-quality coffee that is free from harmful chemicals.

When you see any of these logos on a product, it means that the product has been certified by a third-party organisation to meet the Australian organic standards. This certification ensures that the product has been produced using sustainable farming practices and does not contain harmful chemicals, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms.

Behind products on the supermarket shelves and in stores are people: farmers, workers – families. Millions of them suffer from extreme poverty, poor working conditions and inequality. Fairtrade changes this. Support Fairtrade, change lives.
Fairtrade's approach enables farmers and workers to have more control over their lives and decide how to invest in their future.
As a leader in the global movement to make trade fair, Fairtrade supports and challenges businesses and governments and connects farmers and workers with the people who buy their products.
By choosing Fairtrade, people can create change through their everyday actions. A product with the Fairtrade Mark means producers and businesses have met internationally agreed standards which have been independently certified.
Farmers and workers have a strong voice at every level of Fairtrade, from how they invest in and run their local organisations to having an equal say in Fairtrade’s global decision-making.
Fairtrade is a simple way to make a difference to the lives of the people who grow and create the things we love. It’s all about making trade fair.
What is Fairtrade? from Fairtrade International on Vimeo.
Small-scale farmers and workers are among the most marginalised by the global trade system. At Fairtrade, they are at the heart of everything we do. Unique among certification schemes, producers have an equal say in how Fairtrade is run and are included in all our decision-making.
For farmers and workers, Fairtrade means:
Consumers are a vital part of Fairtrade. Every Fairtrade product you choose or campaign you support enables farmers and workers to invest in their lives and take more control of their future.
The Fairtrade system is made up of:

Some of the best coffee in the world is grown on the steep, wooded slopes of Central Aceh’s highland in Northern Sumatra. The tropical climate, fertile soils and high altitudes of this mountainous region provide the perfect conditions for Arabica coffee.
This is where Fairtrade coffee farmers of Koperasi Baitul Qiradh Baburrayyan (KBQB) founded their coffee business in 1995.
