Earlier Report Observations
The poultry fat market in Israel opened the period at 1 695 t in 2018, supported by domestic production of 1 246 t and imports of 449 t. Government grants to poultry growers under the Galilee Law aimed to bolster production, while regulatory easing in business licensing reduced administrative burdens. However, in 2019 the market volume dropped sharply to 1 164 t, driven by a complete halt in imports and a slight production decline. An analysis highlighted excessive regulation in agriculture, including the poultry sector, which likely constrained market activity. The market rebounded in 2020 to 1 546 t, with production rising to 1 318 t and imports resuming at 232 t, marking a recovery from the previous year's contraction.
From 2021 to 2023, the market exhibited moderate fluctuations. Volume dipped to 1 533 t in 2021 as production fell, though imports increased. In 2022, volume declined further to 1 379 t despite a small production gain, as imports shrank noticeably. The market then grew to 1 424 t in 2023, fueled by a production increase to 1 324 t, the highest in the period, while imports remained low. During 2023, the broader economic environment was characterized by Israel's judicial reform, which affected demand in the food sector, and ongoing inflation pushing up food prices.
Entering 2024, the industry faced significant new challenges. An outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza in commercial flocks prompted strict new regulations and guidelines from the Ministry of Agriculture. Concurrently, amendments to the Arrangements Law imposed tighter rules on meat and poultry products, and new legislation restricted promotions on fresh food. These regulatory shifts, alongside continued grants to growers, are shaping the operational landscape for poultry fat production and trade.
