At cooperative and village level, Utz-certified cooperatives
stay behind in terms of access to safe drinking water, whereas
FT cooperatives made substantial improvements in this field
(presumably financed from FT premium revenues). On the
other hand, Utz cooperatives increased access to latrines to
reinforce sanitary conditions. Nevertheless, there are more
labor days lost due to poor health conditions in Utz-certified
cooperatives. They also reduced their affiliation to other organizations and thus became more focused on their internal
social network
