Stones add to Israeli potential

The export of stonefruit from Israel is growing with each passing year. The introduction of new varieties of nectarines, apricots and plums; the ability to supply these varieties during niche periods, when there is a shortage on the markets in Europe; and, above all, the consistently high quality fruit grown by EurepGAP and Ecofresh accredited growers, have all contributed to the rapid development of this sector.
