Fair Trade Guidelines


 

PFTA has General Fair Trade Guidelines that must be observed by all participants in production, processing and trade chain. These General Guidelines where developed based on those of the Fairtrade Labeling Organization (FLO) www.fairtrade.net. In addition, PFTA flows the FLO format in implementing product specific guidelines. For product specific guidelines see www.fairtrade.net/standards.  However, PFTA’s cooperatives primary activity is the production of Fair Trade olive oil. FLO, has not yet developed international product specific guidelines for olive oil. PFTA has developed product specific guidelines for Fair Trade  Olive Oil that guide the fair trade production of olive oil in Palestine. These guidelines are listed here under Olive Oil Guidelines and were developed by drawing from the FLO product specific guidelines format and researching the olive oil farming, processing, and trading industry in Palestine.
