Not made in Israel
JV - 08.06.2006 09:43

Een relletje is uitgebroken tussen Zweden en Israel, waarbij de Zweden beticht worden van politieke spelletjes door te melden dat wijn geleverd door de Golan Heights Winery niet "made in Israel" is, maar afkomstig is van door Israel bezet Syrisch gebied.

Op zich hebben de Israeli's een klein beetje gelijk dat het niet eerlijk is dat het lijkt of zij alleen aangepakt worden, op sommige producten uit China zou moeten staan "afkomstig uit door China bezet Tibetaans gebied", op sommige producten uit Indonesie zou moeten staan "afkomstig uit door Indonesia bezet Nieuw Guinea", etc. etc. etc.

Maar dat hoeft geen reden te zijn om dan maar de Israelische politieke spelletjes, namelijk "made in Israel" te vermelden op producten die uit de bezette Palestijnse (of in dit geval Syrische) gebieden komen, te negeren.

Er zijn mensen die Israel niet willen boycotten, maar ook niet willen meewerken aan het profiteren van de bezetting door Israel. Voor die mensen wordt het in Zweden iets eenvoudiger om zich daaraan te houden, tenminste, bij de aanschaf van wijn.

Section II
Agricultural Products

Dates

Growing dates is one of the major agricultural activities carried out by nearly half of the Israeli settlements located in the Jordan Rift Valley, and contributes significantly to their economic viability.

“Jordan Plains” and “Jordan River” are the major Israeli date export brands. The main date varieties grown in the Jordan Valley are “Medjoul” and “Deglet Nour”. In the case of Jordan Plains, the dates the company markets are grown exclusively on Israeli settlement plantations. Jordan Plains dates are exported in market bulk packages (5 kgs) as “Produce of Jordan Valley – Israel” by the Agrexco Agricultural Export Company under its brand label “Carmel”.

In the case of Jordan River, Jordan River Bio Top and King Solomon (brand names of Hadiklaim - the Israel Date Growers Cooperative Ltd.), dates grown on Israeli settlements are either:
1) co-mingled with dates grown on date plantations inside Israel
2) packaged at settlement packing houses in bulk packages (5 kgs) which are identical to the bulk packages used at the main Jordan River packing houses inside Israel

Market bulk packages of dates are available generally via wholesalers and in street fruit and vegetable markets. In supermarkets and produce stores the dates are often re-packaged into smaller quantities which designate Israeli origin. These smaller quantities are sometimes packaged under the supermarket’s own label.

Branded packages found in:
France: Paris: Alimentation Rićher
Germany: Köln: Zündorf & Zerres; Mülheim/Ruhr: Tengelmann
Sweden: Stockholm: Konsum Fleminggatan; Olsson & Söner AB
UK: London: Sainsbury’s

Re-packaged Israeli Medjool dates found in:
UK: London: Waitrose; Safeway

Cut Flowers

About 80% of Israeli flowers are exported to European auctions, particularly the Aalsmeer and Flora auctions in the Netherlands. About 15% are sold by the Agrexco Agricultural Export Company under its brand label “Carmel”. Cut flowers exported by Agrexco are packaged in bulk packages marked “Carmel Flowers”.

The Yesha (Hebrew acronym for Judea and Samaria and Gaza) settlement web site, Jordan Valley communities, describes flower cultivation as the most important component of Jordan Valley settlement agriculture. Settlement flowers are sold under the grower’s identity number on either the Netherlands and/or German auctions, or are pooled with flowers from Israel for sale by Agrexco as Carmel Flowers.

The most common flowers grown in Jordan Valley settlements are:

Roses (long stem and short stem)
Gypsophila (baby’s breath)
Gerbera (transvaal daisy)
Solidago (goldenrod)
Hypericum
Helianthus (sunflower)
Carnation
Aster

Grapes
Table grapes grown in settlements in the Jordan Rift Valley are exported to Europe by the Agrexco Agricultural Export Company under its brand label “Carmel”. Some grapes are exported by the Jordan River Grapes company. Main export table grape varieties are Perlette, generally available in May and June, followed by Superior Seedless and Thompson Seedless. The largest European importer of Israeli grapes is the Netherlands.

Herbs
Growing herbs and spices is one of the major agricultural activities carried out by Israeli settlements in the Jordan Rift Valley. Settlement herbs and spices are sold as Fresh Herbs, or, if organic, as Organic Fresh Herbs, by the Agrexco Agricultural Export Company under its brand label “Carmel”. The bulk packaging of settlement herbs would be identical to that of herbs/spices grown in Israel and exported by Agrexco. In supermarkets herbs and spices are often re-packaged into smaller quantities which designate origin as Israeli.

Cherry Tomatoes
According to the secretary-general of the Yesha Council of settlements, the Gaza Strip settlement of Netzarim supplies 25 percent of Israel’s exports of cherry tomatoes. The website of another Israeli settlement located in the Gaza Strip, Moshav Gadid, states that the Gaza settlement bloc of Gush Katif supplies 45 percent of all of Israel’s tomato exports. In the Yakal Gatif export regional packing house in Gaza cherry tomatoes are packaged under at least the following Carmel/Agrexco labels in 250 gram (8.8 oz) punnets. At point-of-purchase the packaging is indistinguishable from that of cherry tomatoes grown and packaged inside Israel.

Bio-Top Organic Cherry Tomatoes, bar code number: 7 290002 766308
Cherry Tomatoes On the Vine, bar code number: 7 290002 766315
Dana cherries, bar code number: 7 290002 766056

These products have been found in supermarkets and/or produce stores in:
France
The Netherlands
UK

Private label:
Settlement cherry tomatoes may be labeled under a private labels as in the case of Naturkost Füllhorn Öko Cherry-Tomaten packaged by Yakal Gatif for the Köln, Germany-based REWE Handelsgruppe GmbH.

Other agricultural products grown in Gush Katif and exported under the Carmel label by Agrexco are Bio-Top organic cucumbers and Bio-Top organic bell peppers (capsicum).
