Despite the Israeli government's efforts to open the market to imports and increase competition, the price of tuna in Israeli supermarkets has remained largely unchanged. The initiative, intended to lower consumer costs, has apparently not translated into significant price reductions for this staple product.

Details regarding the specific measures taken to open the market, such as reduced tariffs or streamlined import processes, are not provided. The article does not specify the exact timeframe of the market opening or the current price points of tuna. It also does not name the specific companies involved in the import or the retailers selling the product.

Further information is needed to understand why the intended effect of lower prices has not materialized. Potential reasons could include high import costs, limited competition among importers, or retailers maintaining existing price structures. The article raises questions about the effectiveness of the government's policy in this instance.
