Where can I get information on organic olive growers and oil?

• The organic sector in Lebanon is growing. In 2004 there were around 50 organic farms, about 100 in conversion and another 100 expected in 2005. The organic growers are being presently certified by international certification bodies such as Skal and IMC. A national certification body (Libancert) is in the process of becoming internationally accredited. • The organic sector in Lebanon has been supported through several development projects and environmental NGOs. Accordingly, many of the organic producers in Lebanon are registered members of associations or cooperatives, and hence are relatively easy to get in contact with. Organizations that could provide information on organic growers include the producers’ cooperative Biocoop Luban (supported by a project of World Vision-Lebanon, a USAID-funded project), and Healthy Basket (associated with the American University of Beirut). • An umbrella association for the organic sector is being established in Lebanon, the Association for Lebanes
