Consultancy Service: “Capacity Building for Juice Factory Wo...

The Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committees (PARC)

PARC was launched as an initiative by a small group of pioneer agronomists and farmers that emerged from the Palestinian voluntary movement in late 1970s.  In early 1980s PARC’s role and achievements were recognized throughout the Palestinian territories, aiming at filling the deliberate gab in provision of agricultural extension and developmental services induced by the Israeli occupation authorities. At the time, where the so-called Israeli civil administration intentionally proceeded to deprive the Palestinians of specialized extension programs, establishment of research stations, obtaining modern technology in agriculture, in a deliberate attempt to marginalize the Palestinian agriculture sector and dismantle the special bonds between the Palestinian farmers and their land so as to confiscate it later for settlement purposes. In 1983, PARC became an organization and committed itself to carry on working to contribute in protecting Palestinian land from confiscation through plantation of the uncultivated areas and providing Palestinian vulnerable farmers with extension services. PARC has undergone a number of various phases throughout the past decades.

PARC currently is implementing programme “Improving Palestinian small-scale producers’ access to and power in high value fruits, and small ruminant value chains- Takamol” with other consortium partners including OXFAM as lead applicant, RWDS & PLDC. The programme is funded by DFTA (department of foreign affairs & Trade), & working to improve the functioning of agricultural markets for the benefit of farmers, especially women and youth, across the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.  In partnership with key market players, the project will help to improve the inclusive three value chains for small scale farmers and processors mainly grapes, high-value fruits including (guava; mango and avocado) & Small ruminant, particularly through applying the good agricultural practices (GAP) in production, post-harvests & encourage improvements in the market system to enable the small scale farmers women & youth gain more profit from their products.,
