The Agriculture Ministry announces it has approved egg imports from Poland, as the government seeks to prevent a possible shortage ahead of the upcoming Passover holiday amid the Ukraine war.

Poland joins a list of approved countries that also includes Bulgaria, Portugal, Spain and Italy.

“We promised to do everything possible to prevent a shortage of eggs during Passover,” Agricultural Minister Oded Forer says in a statement. “The ministry is working on the matter day and night.”
