Exchange with other hazelnut actors
Happy Hazelnut was one of the first initiatives set up to combat child labour in the hazelnut sector in Turkey. Fortunately, numerous actors are now committed to promoting sustainability in the sector. Only together can we effectively tackle the challenges in the entire sector.
