The Date Campaign

Small family farms and local manufacturers generate positive economic, ecological and social benefits. Our vision is that the market pays for these benefits. To achieve this goal, we support small family farms in the development of sustainable and marketable products and sell them directly to you – without using intermediaries.

From the palm to you in 20 days

The Bio&Fair date clusters are available by placing orders between September and December 2008. The date harvest begins in October and ends in November.

The greatest challenge for this campaign lies in its logistics: in a span of just four weeks the dates are transported from Tunisia to your home. The fruit is obtained directly from small farmers in mid November - fresh from the harvest. The dates are shipped from Tunisia at the start of December and reach your home by the middle of the month.

• Thanks to the direct bridge to farmers - we offer you the highest quality dates at a good price.
• Thanks to the direct delivery from farmers - you will have harvest-fresh and juicy dates ready for Christmas.
• Thanks to the organic cultivation - the fragile balance of the palm gardens will be protected sustainably and water resources conserved.
• Thanks to the fair trade - small farmers will be provided with a long-term and viable source of income.
• Thanks to the advance orders - all those in the supply chain can plan more efficiently.
• Thanks to the large 5kg units - packing material will be saved and resources conserved.

Thanks to its commitment, gebana is regularly awarded the highest distinction of “highly recommended” from the WWF and the Foundation for Consumer Protection (Stiftung für Konsumentenschutz).
