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

A Tel Aviv University study found that the price of common grocery items in Israeli online supermarkets increased by 19% in the last four years, a significant acceleration from the previous period. 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.
