Increasing the volume of imports could compromise food security
Printable version 
According to Israeli media, the Ministries of Agriculture and Finance plan to open the fruit and vegetable market to imports by removing customs duties.
 
But a report by the Shoresh Institute, which specializes in socio-economic studies, points out that this project may endanger the country's food security in the long term.
 
Explaining that the likely suppliers -Turkey, Egypt, Jordan- are less prepared for climate change than Israel. This dependence could be aggravated by difficulties linked to disruptions in the supply chain, as we have seen during the Covid pandemic and since the conflict in Ukraine.
 
The Shoresh Institute believes that it is necessary to determine which crops can be produced in Israel at a reasonable cost, taking into account both current constraints (rising temperatures, drought, amount of water available for agriculture, soil degradation) and future risks.
