World News | Israel Ensures Proper Egg Supply for Passover Holiday

Jerusalem [Israel] March 17 (ANI/TPS): Israel's Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security is working to ensure the supply of eggs in the country for the upcoming Passover holiday, declaring, "supply of eggs for Passover will continue as usual."

The average monthly consumption of eggs in Israel is approximately 200 million eggs, a quantity similar to the scope of local production, explained the Ministry. However, during the holiday periods, and especially in preparation for Passover, the demand for eggs increases significantly and reaches approximately 240 million eggs per full month in March and April. In normal years, without fighting, the gap between local production and consumption during peak seasons is bridged through spot imports of approximately 80-100 million eggs per year, with approximately 40 million of these being imported in preparation for Passover.
