Food Prices in Israel Jump Nearly 20% in Four Years, Study Finds

The research, covering 80 products from September 2018 to August 2026, noted sharp inflation since 2022, with some products seeing price hikes of up to 78%. Researchers cited a lack of competition and insufficient government action as key factors. The study's authors are calling for increased competition and the removal of market entry barriers.
