PFU

The Palestinian Farmers’ Union (PFU) is a broadly recognized Palestinian farmers’ network, which represents farmers through active Governorate Farmers’ Associations in all agricultural sectors and communities, which represents farmers to defend their rights and interests to achieve a more securing and enabling policy and business environment, and provides quality services to strength-en farmers’ skills to better produce, process and market their commodities and to better cope with shocks and changes.

PFU’s mission statement includes three strategic objectives, which are otherwise known as the three main pillars of PFU. These pillars are: (1) strong farmers’ movement, (2) effective lobby and advoca-cy, and (3) quality services to farmers. Each pillar has its own strategic objective, which are our tar-geted primary outcomes by the end of 2023. For the first pillar, a strong farmers’ movement, the strategic objective is: public and private sector stakeholders, at local, national, regional and interna-tional levels, have recognized PFU as the Palestinian farmers’ network, with active Governorate Farmers’ Associations and collaborative relations in all agricultural communities and main agricultur-al sub-sectors. For the second pillar, effective lobby and advocacy, the strategic objective is: farm-ers, represented by PFU, have successfully defended their rights and interests, and have achieved a more securing and enabling policy and business environment. For the third pillar, quality services to farmers, the strategic objective is: information and services, directly or indirectly facilitated by GFA’s and PFI, have improved farmers’ access to health and financial services and have improved the pro-duction, processing and marketing of their commodities.
