The Knesset passes a law mandating the agricultural sector to report on supplies to boost information about emergency stock in case of supply chain interruptions.
The law will apply from September 1 to all entities in the sector, including flour mills, feed mills, food centers, grain trading corporations, cowsheds, chicken coops, and livestock pens. It will also include geographical location and details of the stock owner.
Dedicated inspectors will be authorized for control and monitoring purposes.
The stocks to be monitored will include corn and barley grains, soybean and sunflower meal, rapeseed, corn gluten, palm fat, and vitamin and mineral supplements for cattle, sheep, and poultry.
The Agriculture Ministry currently manages emergency stocks in line with the scenarios drawn up by the National Emergency Authority. The new law expands monitoring capabilities to operational stocks as well, providing the state with a management tool for data-driven decision-making.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
