Palestine’s Olive Oil in North America
An economic market with international growth potential that has emerged recently is the fair trade of Palestinian products in North America. Farmers in village co-operatives and farming collectives have the opportunity to sell goods, such as olive oil and olive soap at fair prices. Moreover it enables Palestinian farmers, workers and press operators to sustain an integral part of their culture that goes back centuries.Web sites of some organizations that sell Palestine’s olive oil:
North America:
www.afsc.org
www.canaanfairtrade.com
www.palestineoliveoil.org
www.worldcentric.org
*www.zatoun.com
* For every bottle of olive oil sold through Zatoun, $1 will go towards the purchase of an olive tree sapling in the Trees for Life campaign. Donations for the campaign are accepted also. Throughout February and March tree saplings will be donated to Palestinian farms that have lost trees to the occupation. According to Zatoun “farmers are selected according to damage suffered by the occupation, need, commitment to fair trade practices, ability to care for trees.” Each farmer will receive 25-50 tree saplings.
