#Israel / Israeli avocado farmers see record profits from sales in Europe, expanding farming into Africa

Israeli media is reporting that the shortage created in Europe, partly due to drought in #Spain and #Portugal, secured an excellent year for Israeli growers with the marketing of 240,000 tons abroad, at prices 20% higher compared to last year.

Industry sources said that the shortage created in Europe overcame any reservations, “if any,” about purchasing from Israeli produce. The war on Gaza also affected some of the growers in Israel, especially in the north and south, who struggled to reach and harvest the fruit. But according to industry sources, those who managed to harvest - enjoyed an excellent year.

According to Giora Marom, the person in charge of the avocado sector at #Granot, "The reasons for the good season are rooted in the situation abroad. In the domestic market, there were fruit surpluses “due to the suspension of supply to #Gaza and the territories.” A lot of fruit remained in the domestic market and avocado was sold to supermarket chains at 4-5 NIS per kg.

Help needed: my ugg boots of 10 years are finally beyond repair and I need something to replace them as winter approaches. Are there any #vegan options which are as durable as sheepskin/leather and will break down once they wear out rather than contribute to the microplastic pollution problem? Need to be warm and wearable inside but also outside (eg sitting in the garden, not out out). #vegan #anticonsumption #ethicalshopping

Thanks to St James Church Devizes for publishing this in this in this month’s “Southbroom Messenger”. A helpful reminder from the Mothers Union (whatever your religion or lack thereof) that we’re interdependent: no one is an island, we depend on each other. Let’s shop accordingly…

This weekend #MuddyBadger promises to plant one #tree for every order placed, but it's just #greenwashing, isn't it? Read about the pros and cons of tree planting projects and why we are supporting a #reforestation project in Madagascar.

Only 3 more days until #ChristmasJumperDay. Christmas can be an expensive time of year and buying a Christmas jumper can feel like a waste of money if your child only wears it for a couple of weeks and has grown out of it by next year. With this in mind, #MuddyBadger seasonal jumpers have been designed to be worn throughout winter and into spring, but feature birds and animals that we traditionally associate with Christmas.

Reminder that #Lacoste is still financially supporting the bombing of Ukrainians . #r4today #EthicalShopping #Balenciaga

If you can, try and shop #ethically this #Christmas. Don't just fall into the trap of defaulting to Amazon.

There are lots of better options out there that actually benefit the economy and sellers/creators.

It might be a tiny bit more expensive, but when you think about what those savings mean in the long run, you'll realise it's usually not worth it.
