Story
Pictured, right: Sania Shqeer, a member and board member of Al Zawyeh co-op.
Olive farming is not just economically important in the West Bank — it is culturally important as well. Many of the olive trees on our producer partners' farms hold an almost sacred significance for some farmers. Some of the trees have been passed down from generation to generation, and represent deep familial ties to the land.Equal Exchange is proud to support these farmers and their families as they rejuvenate their agricultural livelihoods.
