Agriculture in Israel
is a highly developed industry: Israel is a major
exporter of fresh produce and a world-leader
in agricultural technologies despite the fact
which Israel geographical location is not naturally
conducive to agriculture. More than half of the
land area is desert, and the climate and lack
of water resources do not favour farming.

Agriculture in Israel
Israel agriculture represents 2.5% of total GDP
and 3.6% of total exports. While agricultural
workers make up only 3.7% of the work force,
Israel produces 95% of its own food
requirements, supplementing this with imports of
grain, oil seeds, meat, coffee, cocoa and sugar.

Main Farm types \ Settlements
Most of Israel's agriculture is based on cooperative
principles that evolved in the early twentieth century.
the Kibbutz, a collective community in which the
means of production are communally owned and
each member's work benefits all;
the Moshav, a farming village where each family
maintains its own household and works its own land,
while purchasing and marketing are conducted cooperatively.

Agricultural technology
Israel is a world leader in agricultural research
and development which have led to dramatic
increases in the quantity and quality of the
country's crops.
The drive to increase yields and crop quality
has led to the development of new seed and
plant varieties, as well as to innovations such as
drip irrigation.

An irrigation revolution is born
Kibbutz Hatzerim, a small agricultural
community located in Israel's Negev desert,
found new invention: slow and balanced drip
effect led to remarkable plant growth.
Netafim's initial production facility was
established in 1965, and led the way ever
since.
