Israel’s citrus industry began in 1882. As new immigrants moved to the country, they established many very small orchards. These plantings were generally in agricultural settlements organized under collectivist principles called “kibbutzim.”
Currently, the area devoted to citrus in Israel is 44,500 acres. There are approximately 2,800 growers, but a single grower manages one-third of the industry.
