NGO from Lebanon looking for partner in farming systems and agro-food value chain

Fair Trade Lebanon (FTL) is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) born in the year of 2006 out of the will of a few Lebanese who wanted to change the livelihoods of disadvantaged rural populations in Lebanon.

FTL implements agricultural development activities in order to strengthen the production and marketing of the products while improving the working conditions of the producers (such as gender equality and no child labor) and applying the principles of Fair Trade (better pay, transparency, pre-financing, long-term partnerships among others). These activities consist in providing trainings, supplying equipment or renovating premises, raising the production chain to international standards, and certifying eligible products (Fairtrade, Organic and TEQ) through a continual and direct dialogue with all the production units.

In parallel, FTL carries out activities to raise awareness of fair trade by giving speeches in schools and universities, introducing its products to HORECA businesses (Hotels, Restaurants and Catering) and by organizing local or national events around the topic of Fair Trade. FTL contributes to the international fair trade networks, especially through its membership to the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) in September 2010 (and by extension to the WFTO Africa Middle-East branch).

Fair Trade Lebanon will be able to help in:
- Increased Food production
- Improve employment especially for women and youth
