The International Trade Centre ITC is a multilateral agency for world trade with a joint mandate from the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the United Nations (UN). Their team needed a freelance photographer and videographer to be involved in creating a multimedia feature about Pasciolco Agri Ventures, a company that produces organic coconut products. The assignment was for a people-based story, accompanied by photographs and a short video, showing Pasciolco Agri Ventures’ history, challenges, and successes.

The company, which started 25 years ago with a simple production facility on a coconut farm, now exports 50% of its products to international markets. At first, this seemed unattainable. But with her entrepreneurial spirit, Maureen Pasciolco has made it happen. “Be open-minded and be guided by organisations that can help you grow further,” Maureen advises today. We at Fairpicture took note of her advice.
For the International Trade Centre, cooperating with Fairpicture is a promise for the future: “Our clients have been impressed with the quality of the material. We receive top quality content, delivered on time,” says Waqas from ITC. In describing Fairpicture’s services, he went on to say, “This is a rare combination of local and international talent that promises a spectacular product.”
