CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Subject is considered as one of the leading local exporters in the greenhouses industry.

 

Subject performance was hit in 2008/9 due to the global economic crisis, where investments in agriculture dropped dramatically in the world, affecting suppliers of input to the sector.

 

According to Israel's Ministry of Industry and Trade, the export by the greenhouses industry companies in 2009 dropped by 47% from 2008, reflecting the outcome of the global crisis (volume of export was US$ 40 million in he years  2005 and 2006, later figures unavailable). The sector is mostly influenced by the level of orders from international organs and institutions (e.g. World Bank), who finance agricultural projects in third world countries.
