Last week, the first organically grown Greek kiwis arrived at Fairtrasa Holland. "Just as in previous years, they look and taste fantastic again. Greece suits the Fairtrasa philosophy perfectly," says Peter Abma. "We often deal with smaller growers, who really need the export to be able to get suitable prices for their products."
This season, most of the kiwis are coming in under the Fairtrasa label. Fairtrasa aims to give growers who live in poverty a dignified existence. Fairtrasa does this by working together with locals, and jointly educating growers and uniting the smaller growers in a cooperative, with the eventual goal of independently growing, sorting, packing and exporting to the well-paying European or American market. All products are cultivated organically.
