Agrexco is looking for additional funding to ensure continuity of operations.
The Tel Aviv District Court today extended Agrexco's stay of proceedings by two weeks, until July 20th.
The ruling comes a day after the Ministry of Finance refused to provide interim financing of €1.75 million to keep the company afloat and offered only €500,00.
However, Arko Holdings Ltd, has offered to loan Agrexco €1.25 million to allow the exporter of fresh agricultural produce to keep operating .
The government owns 30.3% of Agrexco, growers and farmers councils own 58.7% and Tnuva Food Industries Ltd. owns 11%. Agrexco has debts of €106 million.
