The Ministry of Agriculture approved the marketing chains Victory (TASE:), Shufersal (TASE:) and Beitan Wines – with the controlling owners of which Electra Consumers (TASE:) is a member – to import honey in jars of up to 1.5 kg. The price of honey will be NIS 18.9-23.5 per “third.

According to Stornext data, the average price for honey in Israel in 2022 is NIS 44 per kg.

Shufersal offered the lowest price, NIS 18.9 per kilo, and you can import 45 tons of honey. Victory offered a price of NIS 21.11 per kilo and won the highest quota, which will be 125 tons. Beitan Wines will sell a kilo of honey for NIS 23.5 per kilo and import 30 tons.

The total import quotas will be 200 tons, which will be distributed among the chains. According to Stornext data, the average price for honey in Israel in 2022 is NIS 44 per kilo.

The ministry’s decision to open a tender for the import of honey just two weeks before the holiday was criticized by beekeepers and farmers, who were happy about the decision. Marketing also claimed that it was absurd to open import quotas so short a time before the holiday.

The CEO of Victory, Eyal Ravid, told “Davar”:

“If you want to allow the import of honey, then open a tender two or three months before the holiday and let the importers organize themselves to lower the price. Opening a tender just two weeks before the holiday does not matter anymore. The shopping for the holiday has already started.”
