Zaytoun is a British non-profit organisation which supports Palestinian farming communities by helping to increase the market for their olive oil products internationally, and by helping the farmers improve the quality of their oil through training and equipment provision.
A trading company named Zaytoun Limited was established in 2004, and converted to a community interest company in 2008.[1]
Zaytoun is supported by UK charity War on Want, amongst others.[2] They were awarded Fairtrade certification for their olive oil in 2009.[2]
In 2020, the company had net assets of £347,000, mostly in stocks of goods.[3] In that year there were eight employees.[3]
