The part of the farming sector has been
declining for several years whereas industry and
services have been increasing their importance.
Unlike the industry sector, public authorities are
still in control of the primary sector. The farming
sector depends on State subsidies.
The vegetables and flowers market are protected.
Efforts were made to move the production of lemon
from the centre of Israel to the South, in order to
liberalize markets and systems related to
exports.
