Arava Newsletter w6 2020

1. Weather in Israel : we are facing Rainy
weekend with cold temp’ at night (6-8
degree) and day 13-18 degree.
In Israel usually the rains are not
dramatically strong and have some hours
difference from rain to rain but this
weather can make difficulty of supply the
outside crops like Coriander, dill ,
Rosemary, Sage etc… and slower growth in
items like Salicornia, Tarragon, Basil and
Mint.
Shortage:
Salicornia, Mint, Tarragon, Dill and Thai
Basil
Small items supply is not stable and in low
qty : Lemon thyme, Melisa , Lovage, Sorel,
Oregano, Peppermint

FRUIT LOGISTICA 5-6-7 FEBRUARY 2020
We would be happy to set a meeting with you, please contact us !
From January we are facing in Israel the most cold and
rainy winter we had in the last 28 years !
The main issue is the cold nights that not allow the
herbs to grow normally but much more slowly, for
example Thai basil harvest is every 7 days and now it’s
every 14-16 days .
Small Items Herbs - been grown only by 1-2 growers
because of low demand by customers usually , so the
fields are small and any change of the weather or in
demand influence their availability and this is the main
reason for the un stable supply in that time of the
season
Dill – fields “burnt” from the cold night we had 2 days
ago so we need to wait for the new fields to come...
One week at least.
We expect from today till end of the week another rainy
and cold weather, so supply will be problematic for next
week either, please send us your order in advance so we
could do our best to arrange it
