Israel Faces Rising Food Costs as Egg and Flour Prices Increase
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Starting Sunday, Israelis will see a 2.1% increase in the price of government-regulated eggs, with prices for a dozen medium, large, and extra-large eggs rising to NIS 13.40, NIS 14.54, and NIS 15.81 respectively. This comes as flour prices are also expected to jump 11-14% due to global wheat cost increases. These rising costs for essential ingredients are anticipated to lead to higher prices for bread, baked goods, and other staples, exacerbating the high cost of living in Israel. State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman has called for stronger government action to address the crisis.
