Canaan Fair Trade, Palestine - Meet the Fair Trade Artisans

Canaan Fair Trade uses the fair trade concept to empower marginalized Palestinian rural communities caught in conflict so they can sustain their livelihoods and culture. Thus, they have built direct working relationships with these communities, paying sustainable prices for their agricultural products to ensure fair wages for labor along the supply chain.

CFT supports farmers in enhancing production procedures and product quality, building their capacities to work collectively, and selling to international markets.

CFT educates farmers about sustainable practices and supports conversion to certified organic production. They ensure sterling quality standards, while implementing social and economic empowerment programs.

Canaan promotes cross-cultural, interfaith, and multi-ethnic connection of all participants in the production and trade processes: workers, farmers, processors, traders, exporters, importers, distributors, and consumers. The idea is to create one community connected by the fair exchange of goods in a cross-cultural setting.

Support these artisans by buying their products in our fair trade store.
