The vegetable growing sector in Israel accounts for about 24% of the country’s total agricultural production and about 40% of total horticultural production.
The estimated value of this sector was close to five billion Israeli shekels in 2008 (around €930m), while production exceeded 2.3 million tons, including vegetables for consumption in the domestic market, fresh produce for export to Europe and the USA, and raw material for industrial processing and canning.
The increase in production and the uninterrupted supply of vegetable crops has been achieved by exploiting a number of factors in the production process, including:
- Production in different regions
- Production under protected conditions
- Exploitation of regional climatic conditions and production in different seasons
- Introduction of new crops and new varieties
