More about Israel
Business
Despite unfavorable external conditions (deserts, water shortages, scarcity of raw materials, wars), Israel has developed from a predominantly agrarian state into a modern economy with an export-oriented high-tech industry and a diversified service sector since it was founded. The economic boycott of the Arab states has forced Israel to sell its production to the world market. H. to orientate towards Europe, the USA and China. The Israeli economy would not be able to survive without substantial financial help, especially from the USA.
Israel’s economy has seen impressive growth over the past few years; From 2004 to 2011 the average annual growth rate of the gross domestic product (GDP) was around 5% (exception 2009: 0.8%); since 2012 it has leveled off at around 3% (2017: 3.3%).
Foreign trade: Israel’s trade balance, which was traditionally import-heavy in the past, has been more or less balanced for several years (2017 import value: US $ 69.1 billion, export value: US $ 61.2 billion). The main import goods are machines and systems, fuels, electronic products, precious stones and rough diamonds as well as vehicles. Processed diamonds, chemical and pharmaceutical products, and electronic products are at the forefront of export goods. The most important trading partners are the USA (2017: 27.9% of exports; 11.7% of imports) as well as the countries of the EU, China and Switzerland.
Agriculture
Only 1.2% of the employed work in the agricultural sector; they generate (2016) 1.2% of GDP. The predominant forms of business are kibbutzim and moshavim (cooperatives). Only a good 15% of the country’s surface is suitable for intensive agricultural use: 220,500 hectares are artificially irrigated. A total of 306,000 hectares of arable land, 88,300 hectares of permanent crops, the remaining usable areas are used as permanent meadows and pastures. 162 800 hectares are designated as forest. The cultivation is concentrated on the narrow, climate-favored coastal plain, the more humid northern parts of the country and the north of the Negev, where cultivation became possible with the installation of long-distance water pipes. In total, almost two thirds of the arable land is fully or temporarily irrigated (irrigated agriculture). The share of water consumption in agriculture is declining due to the use of water-saving irrigation techniques, but is still around 60%. The most important agricultural products are wheat, fruits, vegetables, olives, meat, milk and cotton. Sections of agriculture are strongly export-oriented (citrus fruits, bananas, avocados, early vegetables, peanuts, flowers). Israeli agriculture can cover more than 70% of its own food requirements – except in drought years. In the livestock industry in Jewish settlements, cattle and poultry husbandry are predominant, while sheep and goat husbandry predominate in the Arab part of the population.
Fisheries: The fishery is carried out exclusively for personal use. It focuses on the Sea of Galilee, the coastal waters and pond farming (carp). The catches (2013: 25 026 t) are relatively small.
Service
By far the most important economic sector is the service sector, in which around four fifths of employees work. The share of GDP is around 70%. Financial services, communication, trade, tourism, education and health care are of great importance. Many new start-ups have been founded in the service sector.
Tourism: Tourism is subject to strong fluctuations due to political uncertainties. The main attractions for tourists and pilgrims are the historical biblical sites, especially Jerusalem, as well as the Mediterranean coast, the Sea of Galilee and Eilat on the Red Sea.
But the kibbutzim are also the destination of many foreign guests. In 2015, 3.11 million vacationers, mainly from France, Russia, Great Britain and Germany visited Israel. The income from international tourism amounted to US $ 5.7 billion.
Industry
In the manufacturing industry (including mining, energy and construction) around a fifth of the workforce generated 18.7% of GDP. In addition to the building materials industry and the chemical industry, important branches of industry are metal processing, which is based on imported steel (including the manufacture of machine tools, shipbuilding and aircraft construction), and the precision mechanical and electrical industries (weapons and war materials are largely manufactured in the country and also exported). The electronics industry (computers, telecommunications systems, measuring instruments and medical devices) and biotechnology are showing particularly strong growth. The diamond grinding shops, in which the majority of all rough diamonds worldwide are cut, are also of particular importance. Israel is the largest exporter of refined diamonds. Ramat Gan’s diamond exchange is one of the largest of its kind. There are two oil refineries in Ashdod and Haifa. Another factor are the industrial operations of the kibbutzim (apparatus construction, food processing).
