Market Trends of Agriculture In Israel
Advancement in Agricultural Technology
Israeli technology provides a wide range of innovative inventions and advanced tools to enhance productivity. For instance, in 2023, BloomX, an Israeli agri-tech startup, introduced "Crossbee,” a portable device designed to collect and distribute sticky pollen grains among avocado trees. This device is operated by AI-driven software connected to a smartphone app and equipped with a GPS feature. This helps agricultural workers identify the treated areas of a field, leading to a 30% increase in fruit yields. Besides, companies such as AgriTask and SeeTree are harnessing the power of AI-driven analytics to enhance logistic operations, forecast market needs, and enhance inventory control. These platforms enable farmers and agribusinesses to streamline their processes, minimize wastage, and guarantee timely distribution of fresh produce to consumers by analyzing data related to market trends, consumer behavior, and logistical variables. Thus, the growing adoption of various advanced technologies by Israeli farmers and the creation of innovative technologies by companies are anticipated to propel the agriculture market in Israel during the projected timeframe.
Fruits and Vegetables are Widely Consumed in Israel
In the country, tomatoes, cucumbers, citrus fruits, avocados, kiwifruit, guavas, mangoes, grapes, and leafy greens are staples commonly featured in salads, traditional dishes, and various culinary preparations. Their diverse culinary applications underscore their popularity. With a rising focus on healthy eating, there’s been an uptick in demand for these fresh, nutritious, low-calorie, and high-water-content fruits and vegetables. In Israel, heightened health awareness, particularly among millennials, is fueling a surge in demand for fresh produce, such as fruits. Fruits, rich in essential nutrients and antioxidants like vitamin C, carotenoids, and polyphenols, play a pivotal role in reducing cardiovascular disease risks. For many years, local growers have been proving their great importance as a first-rate factor in maintaining Israel's food security and providing the citizens of the country with fresh and healthy agricultural produce. This will encourage the market growth in future years.
