¶ TEIKEI Olive – Origins and Core Product Circle
TEIKEI Olive forms one of the original cores of the TEIKEI network.
Starting with the joint organization of olive oil, a broader context has developed: producers in Greece, communities in various regions, logistics structures across countries, and people who collectively support their supply in a conscious way.
TEIKEI Olive thus exemplifies a form of supply in which agriculture, distribution, responsibility, and relationships are thought of together.
¶ Role in the Network
TEIKEI Olive connects:
- Producers in the cultivation regions
- Members and communities in various regions
- Pick-up locations, warehouses, and logistics structures
- People who collectively support harvest shares
- Forms of communication and participation around a specific product
More has emerged from the olive oil than just a single product circle. TEIKEI Olive has become a learning field for direct relationships, transparent pricing, collective organization, and Europe-regional logistics.

¶ Special Feature
TEIKEI Olive has significantly contributed to the network gaining concrete experience with:
- direct relationships between producers and members
- collectively supported harvest shares
- transparent pricing and cost structures
- long-term collaboration with farms
- regional bundling through communities
- reusable containers, barrels, and bottling activities
- logistics across national borders
These experiences form an important foundation for further project circles in the TEIKEI network.
¶ Significance
TEIKEI Olive demonstrates how a product can become a space for relationships.
The olive oil connects people, places, and responsibility. Producers gain more planning security. Members gain access to high-quality olive oil from traceable origins. Communities take on part of the local organization. Logistics are gradually designed so that material flow, responsibility, and ecological goals come together more effectively.
This makes visible what is possible in the TEIKEI network when production, logistics, and community are collectively supported.
¶ Outlook
TEIKEI Olive continues to evolve.
This includes the expansion of communities, the further development of harvest shares, the cultivation of direct relationships with producers, the improvement of logistics, work on reusable and refill structures, as well as the bundling of knowledge, images, texts, and materials.
