In an effort to lower the price of kosher meat, Israeli authorities have approved 82 new staff members for the slaughter industry. Hundreds of candidates were tested in theoretical examinations as part of the initiative. The move is intended to ease the process of sending kosher slaughter teams abroad for work within Israel as well.

The approvals are part of a broader government effort to increase competition and reduce costs in the meat market. By expanding the pool of qualified personnel, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development aims to streamline the kosher slaughter process, which is a critical component of meat production and distribution in Israel. This expansion is expected to alleviate bottlenecks and potentially lead to more competitive pricing for consumers.
