So auch der 51-jährige Haji Hamidullah, der mit seiner Frau und seinen vier Töchtern in der Hauptstadt Kabul Unterschlupf fand. Wie viele der Geflüchteten kehrte die Familie 2004 zurück und begann erneut, Trauben zu pflanzen.
Doch die Ausgangslage für die Produktion ist schwierig. Zur Herstellung heller Rosinen bräuchte es beispielsweise Lehmhütten, um die trocknenden Trauben vor direkter Sonne zu schützen. Aber die Kleinbauern zögern: Die Situation ist zu unsicher um viel Geld zu investieren.
Haji Hamidullah glaubt jedoch an die wirtschaftliche Zukunft der Region. Dabei ist der Präsident der 2009 gegründeten Rosinenbauern-Kooperative überzeugt, dass der Faire Handel die beste Option für die Produzenten ist. Dieser generiert die höchsten Rosinen-Preise und garantiert den Bauernfamilien die Abnahme der Ernte.
Neu können Sie die Rosinen von Haji Hamidullah’s Kooperative bei uns kaufen. Die Weinbeeren haben ein ausgeprägtes Fruchtaroma und schmecken ausgezeichnet. Wetten, dass sie bald wieder als die besten der Welt gelten?

Smallholders and local producers harvest and refine products of extraordinary quality worldwide. But for many of these producers there is no adequate or stable market. You can buy directly from these producers via the Access to Market Platform and help them to participate in the market. The principle behind this is crowd ordering – a new trade model whereby a number of consumers order a product together so as to achieve a minimum order quantity. We at gebana support the producers with our know-how, and organise the logistics.
Enable someone to make their first export with your order. Please note: Unexpected events often lead to delays, and you may find that the quality is not yet perfect. For this reason, your feedback is absolutely essential. The export experience and your feedback are important steps for the producers towards accessing the market. As a customer, you are witness to the whole process, playing your part in pioneering work.
You can order from these producers simply and directly. You receive your product as soon as the minimum order quantity has been reached and the products are ready. The risk for you is minimal, since the producers already have a product that is ready for market. This sales channel is beneficial to both the producers and the consumers, since it cuts out the middle man.
Be part of the development of supply chains and support innovation! Some of the ways you can do this include testing new products, giving feedback, or financially supporting the producers in their next steps. In doing so, you will be able to see for yourself how the products and supply chains develop.
This is where you can see all the completed projects on the Access to Market Platform at a glance. You can find out where products are now available from or whether the producers are still seeking a trade partner.
