Batch passport with QR labels
One record per press batch, with a printable QR that maps to it. Labels can only be issued once the passport is complete.
Traceability for olive oil producers
Zaytana gives every press batch a digital passport — grove GPS, harvest window, press date, lab acidity, and the farmers behind it. A QR on the bottle opens the whole story. From the grove to the jar, fully traceable.

The honest problem
Palestinian olive oil competes on quality and on a story that is genuinely worth telling. But by the time a jar reaches a shelf in Berlin, Dubai or Chicago, almost nothing about it can be checked.
In a market where fraud and quiet blending are routine, an unverifiable claim is worth nothing at all. Buyers discount what they cannot audit — and the discount lands on the grower, who is the one person in the chain with no leverage.
"Single grove", "cold pressed", "first harvest" — every producer says it, no buyer can verify it, so nobody pays extra for it.
Acidity and peroxide certificates exist on paper, arrive by WhatsApp, and are never attached to the batch they describe.
Each broker between the press and the shelf takes a cut for handling the relationship — a relationship the producer could hold directly.
Existing traceability tools model one owner, one farm, one harvest. Palestinian production runs through cooperatives and shared presses.
The approach
Every batch, from every grove, passes through a press. It is the one moment in the season when olives, farmer, weight, date and oil are all in the same place at the same time.
So Zaytana records the passport there — not later, not from a spreadsheet. The press operator confirms the grower, the intake weight and the press time on a phone. The lab result is attached when it comes back. Labels are only issued against a passport that is already complete.
Then the QR does the rest of the work: a buyer in a shop, an importer at a tasting, a customs officer with a document request — all land on the same verified record.

The platform
Seven pieces of the same record. Built for the way presses and cooperatives actually run a season.
One record per press batch, with a printable QR that maps to it. Labels can only be issued once the passport is complete.
Upload free acidity, peroxide value and polyphenols against the batch. Watch how a grove's numbers move season over season.
Draw each plot once. Tree count, elevation, variety and yield per season stay attached to it for every future harvest.
One account, many growers. Each farmer keeps their own plots and share of a batch, and the cooperative sees the whole season.
Verified producers list available batches. Specialty importers filter by acidity, region, variety and volume, then message the press directly.
Certificates of origin, phytosanitary paperwork, invoices and bills of lading, filed against the shipment instead of an inbox.
The QR opens a page written for the person holding the jar, not for an auditor: the grove, the week it was picked, the hours between picking and pressing, and the growers' own words. The verification sits underneath it, one tap away, for anyone who wants to check.
Included on every plan
How it works
Four steps, all of them inside a working press day. Nothing here asks anyone to sit at a desk during harvest.
Before the season, each plot is drawn on a map with its variety, tree count and the grower it belongs to. This happens a single time.
Olives arrive, the operator picks the grower and plot, enters the weight and the picking window. The press time is stamped automatically.
When the acidity and peroxide report comes back, it is uploaded onto the batch. Until then, the passport is visibly incomplete.
A complete passport releases its QR labels and, if the producer wants, publishes the batch to the export storefront.
Mapping is the only slow part, and it happens outside harvest. After that, every batch inherits its grove's coordinates, elevation, variety and history automatically — which is what makes a genuine single-grove claim possible at all.
A cooperative's map is a patchwork of small terraced plots belonging to different families. Zaytana models it that way.
Litres per plot per season, so a grower can see an off-year for what it is and a buyer can see consistency.
For importers and buyers
Specialty importers in Europe, the Gulf and North America can search verified batches by the things that actually decide a purchase — and message the press that pressed them.
No sample requests into a void, no chain of intermediaries adding a margin for making an introduction. If a batch is listed, its passport is already complete, its lab result is already attached, and its documents are already filed.

Where we actually are
Zaytana is pre-launch. We are onboarding our first presses and cooperatives ahead of the coming harvest. Below is exactly what we will publish — named, dated and checkable — and it stays blank until it is true.
Listed by name, with each press's written permission, from the first season onward.
Counted from press intake records, not estimated from bottles sold.
Only destinations reached by an order closed through the platform.
Grower identity and plot, intake weight, press date and time, and the lab report as issued. All captured at the press, at the moment it happens.
We are not a certification body and we don't grade flavour. A Zaytana passport says what happened and who says so — nothing more.
Palestinian olive production runs through shared presses and family plots. We built for that structure first, rather than retrofitting software written for a single corporate estate.
Onboarding before harvest
Mapping takes a few afternoons and it only happens once. Do it before the olives arrive and every batch you press this year can be proved, listed and sold on its own record.
