Head of farmers union says no shortage of imported goods, can produce plenty locally

The head of the Israel Farmer’s Federation also stresses there is no reason to stress over food supplies and that supermarkets will remain open regardless of any new restrictions to contain the coronavirus.

“Israeli agriculture knows how to produce all the fresh produce: vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and dairy products. There is also no shortage of rice, sugar and meat imported from abroad,” Avshalom Vilan says.
