Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the fresh plums and sloes market in Israel experienced notable volatility in volume. Starting at 22.6 thousand tons in 2018, the market grew to a peak of 24.8 thousand tons in 2019. This was followed by a significant contraction in 2020, with the market volume falling to 21 thousand tons.

The downward trend continued into 2021, as the market volume dropped further to 17 thousand tons. A partial recovery occurred in 2022, with volume increasing to 19 thousand tons, but this gain was reversed in 2023 when the market declined again to 16.5 thousand tons. Over the six-year period, the overall market volume decreased by approximately 27%.

Imports and exports of fresh plums and sloes were negligible throughout this time, meaning the domestic market was almost entirely supplied by local production, which mirrored the same pattern of rise and fall.
