Chicken Imports

The Ministry of Agriculture has revoked the approval for Baladi's plant in Brazil, effectively halting chicken imports to Israel. The move deals a significant blow to the company, which invested 21 million shekels in the facility, and follows intense pressure from local poultry producers.

The Supreme Court has ordered the Rabbinate to approve chicken imports from Brazil within four months. The judges rejected further delays, signaling that the market must be opened to lower consumer prices.
