Sourcing goods
Buy with purpose—support Palestinian producers through ethical sourcing that delivers quality and impact across the value chain.
Palestinian products—from organic olive oil to artisan crafts—combine quality, heritage, and social value. By sourcing from Palestinian firms, you’re not only supporting economic independence and resilience; you’re strengthening your own brand integrity, ESG alignment, and supplier diversity. With verified vendors and Palestinian firms already serving global clients, ethical sourcing is a viable opportunity.
“Since 2008, Dr. Bronner’s has sourced approximately 90% of the olive oil we use annually from Canaan Fair Trade. Canaan works closely with regenerative organic and fair trade Palestinian farmers in Palestine’s West Bank.”
David Bronner, CEO, Dr. Bronner’s

6 Common Worries About Sourcing
-
Sourcing from Palestine does involve some additional logistical steps — from crossing checkpoints to navigating customs and border regulations. But it’s far from uncharted territory. Exporters, cooperatives, and brands have been trading internationally for years.
Companies like Zaytoun and Canaan have helped establish stable export routes, and many producers now work through cooperatives or hubs experienced in managing these processes. The infrastructure exists — and learning from those already doing it can help others take informed steps.
-
Yes. Many Palestinian producers are certified organic, fair trade, or ISO-compliant. Groups like the Palestine Fair Trade Association support farmers in achieving EU/US standards. Exporters like Canaan and Al’Ard already supply to major international brands, including cosmetics and grocery chains.
-
Disruptions can happen — but producers and exporters have developed strategies to handle them. Shipments often go via Jordan or Israel, and experienced freight handlers understand the necessary paperwork and procedures. Existing cases show that with preparation and local know-how, trade is not only feasible — it’s already happening. Supply chain risks exist, but they’re being managed every day by businesses on the ground.
-
Sourcing from Palestine often means smaller volumes and artisanal scale — but that can be a strategic advantage. It supports premium, story-rich, high-margin products that stand out in a crowded market. Whether it’s organic dates, heritage grains, or handwoven crafts, small-batch sourcing from Palestine creates value far beyond the product itself.
-
This is a fair question — and often more about perception than actual risk. Many companies and consumers see ethical trade with Palestine as a positive stand for inclusive business and dignity through work. Transparency is key: when you show you’re supporting livelihoods and fair trade, people respond with respect, not controversy. Far from being a risk, transparent sourcing from Palestine can strengthen your brand’s purpose.
-
You don’t have to do it alone — many have already walked this path. A growing ecosystem of intermediaries, NGOs, and fair-trade organizations connects companies with vetted producers. You can find some of them here on the Business For Palestine platform. That’s why this platform exists. From fair trade bodies to producer networks, there’s a web of experience to draw on.
