Fair Trade Lebanon sits down with producers

Today, Fair Trade Lebanon headed to the village of Tourbol in the Bekaa of Lebanon; We gathered around 20 members of partner cooperatives and discussed our link in the whole chain of Fair Trade. We raised awareness for the importance of meeting the standards of quality, of transparency and long-term commitment.

Members shared with us their impressions and their expectations from Fair Trade Lebanon. Our main objective is to continue what we have started 4 years ago, to proceed in seeking markets for the products and create a sustainable impact from the work that is being done.

It is not always easy in the current economic environment but FTL is nevertheless growing and our eyes are all looking forward.

Tomorrow is looking so bright...and our projects as well. I will seize this opportunity to congratulate a person, M.Philippe Adaime, for always choosing to do the correct thing instead of the easiest, for also leading the team in such a great spirit that makes us all thrive to always bring the best of us. Philippe, I salute the dedication you are offering and spreading all around!

Readers, make sure you join us in our journey...it's filled with surprises...
