What makes RARA's approach to sugar sustainable?
We prioritize regenerative farming practices, which means we focus on soil health, biodiversity, and water conservation. By going beyond simply doing less harm, we aim to actively restore the ecosystems where our sugar is grown.
Is your packaging sustainable?
Yes. Our shaker tubes are made of paper with a food-safe lining and are fully recyclable. By moving away from plastic bags and non-recyclable sachets, we significantly reduce our environmental footprint.
What is Project Aloha?
Project Aloha is our initiative to revive heirloom sugarcane varieties and rebuild a sustainable, craft sugar industry in Hawaii. We partner with local farmers who are committed to regenerative agriculture, ensuring that both the land and the community thrive.
Why is sustainable sugar more expensive?
Commodity sugar is built for maximum volume at the lowest price, often at the expense of the environment and workers. Our pricing reflects the true cost of doing things right—paying fair wages, investing in soil health, and prioritizing quality over yield.
What does 'single estate' mean for sustainability?
Sourcing from a single estate allows us to have complete traceability and transparency. We know exactly how the sugar is grown, harvested, and processed, ensuring our strict sustainability standards are met every step of the way.
