For the first time, the Israeli Ministry of Economy invited European fresh meat exporters to come to Israel so that they can meet with Israeli buyers.
Doing so, the Israeli government aims at lowering the consumer price for meat by diversifying sources of imports. In that regards, the Israeli authorities went to France in April 2016 in order to inspect French slaughterhouses. Following this visit, the equivalence of French and Israeli health systems was recognized. From now on, the French authorities also have the possibility to approve French slaughterhouses that are authorized to export beef to Israel. In addition, French and Israeli health authorities are currently discussing the possibility to open the market for livestock.
In this perspective, an event is organized on 22 November by professionals of the French bovine sector, members of the French inter-branch organization (INTERBEV), at the residence of France in Israel. The French delegation also participates to the seminar and BtoB session organized by the Israeli government on 21 November.
These events are real opportunities to meet French livestock and beef exporters and officials and to learn more about the know-how and the sanitary quality of the French livestock and beef. It has to be noted that France is the leading producer of beef and veal and the leading exporter of livestock and meat in Europe. France is well-known to have developed a sanitary system guaranteeing a high quality offer.
