Israeli Fair Trade & Palestinian Olive Oil

Green Action and Sindyanna of Galilee bring you Peace Oil,
the best quality Palestinian extra virgin olive oil.

Green Action: Palestinians and Israelis Working for Fair Trade. Green Action works with Palestinian farmers in the Salfit region of the West Bank. They help the farmers organize into cooperatives, improve the quality of the olive oil to export standards, and harvest the olives. Green Action buys the olive oil for distribution in Israel and worldwide. Avi Levi, the fair trade advocate for Green Action, is one of few Israelis (other than settlers and soldiers) who regularly travel in the West Bank.

Sindyanna of Galilee: Palestinian and Jewish Women Working for Peace, Justice and Equality. Since 1998, Sindyanna has empowered Palestinian women through job training and improved the local Palestinian economy by purchasing traditional products: olive oil from Galilee Arab farmers; olive oil soap from Nablus; za'atar and carob syrup made from wild native plants in the Galilee. Palestinian women work in the facility in Kufr Kana packaging these products and gaining valuable job experience. Sindyanna was founded by Samya Nasser, an Arab Israeli, and Hadas Lahav a Jewish Israeli. Both still actively direct the group.
