As part of Hazera’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and contribution to the community, in the broadest sense of the term, the company provides support to a social startup called “Fair Planet”, led by Dr. Shoshan Haran – a former Hazera employee, alongside with Alon Haberfeld, who also has a valued history at Hazera.

This is a unique initiative in which volunteers travel to Ethiopia, where they help local farmers improve their crops, grow higher quality vegetables, and increase their profits. Hazera is proud to contribute to the project and to provide seeds suitable for the local growing and climate conditions. Although the project only began 4 years ago, the results are already evident on the ground, in the form of high-quality crops of tomatoes, with 5 times higher yields than the national average in Ethiopia.
