Jerusalem…by Idele Ross…
The Agriculture Ministry and Poultry Board are reporting that Israelis are buying more chicken. In 2006, the average Israeli consumed 38 kilograms up from 37 the year before. The Mazon Israeli Food news website notes the trend also shows a 50 percent growth over the last ten years. Poultry consumption in Israel is higher than in Europe: England and Spain report 23 kilograms are consumed per average consumer whereas in Canada and Australia it is 30 kilograms a year. Americans eat the most chicken, some 42 kilograms a year. Agriculture Ministry officials credit the slow but steady growth to innovation and cost efficiency, which have enabled the prices to be lowered. They also note that for Israelis, especially those who observe kashrut, there are not many alternatives.
