Attached below is a comprehensive development report by the Tony Blair Institute, AGRA & the Volcani Partnerships on “How Israel became a world leader in agriculture and water; Insights for today’s developing countries.”
The document can serve as a great source of reference for policy discussions development in Ghana.
In 2018 Israel exported $350 million worth of vegetables, $250 million worth of dates, avocados and mangoes, $215 million worth of fruit juices, $193 million worth of citrus fruits, $188 million worth of processed food and $151 million worth of seeds.
These agricultural exports alone equate to three-quarters of the entirety of the non-fuel and non-ship goods exports of Nigeria – Africa’s largest economy.
And this from a country that only has 295,000 hectares of arable land, less than the 315,000 hectares that make up Rhode Island - the United States’ smallest state.
How Israel achieve these feats? Read the document below to understand.
