Vegetable production has declined

In 2010, the Israeli production of vegetables has decreased compared to the previous year.

 
According to figures published by the Israel Institute of Statistics, the production of vegetables decreased by 14%. This decline in production has pushed up prices, which rose 16% in 2010 (in 2009 the increase was 8.4%).

 
This decline in production has affected exports, which fell 2% in 2010 after rising 10% in 2009. Tomatoes have suffered most from the decline in production and exports show a decrease of 23% compared to 2009.
