FAQs
Where does Israel import eggs?
Israel is a significant egg producer, but it relies on imports—primarily of shell eggs and processed egg products—to stabilize the market during shortages and support food manufacturers.
Top countries Israel imports eggs or egg products from:
- Spain – One of Israel’s main sources of shell eggs, especially during seasonal shortfalls.
- Portugal & Italy – EU-approved suppliers of both shell eggs and pasteurized liquid egg products.
- Ukraine – A source of affordable shell eggs and growing supplier for industrial use.
- Turkey – Supplies shell eggs under bilateral agreements during high-demand periods.
- United States – Exporter of egg powder and pasteurized egg products for Israeli manufacturers.
All imports must comply with the Israeli Veterinary Services and Animal Health (IVSAH) and Ministry of Health (MOH) requirements, including Kosher certification.

Why Does Israel Import Eggs?
Israel imports eggs to manage domestic supply gaps, ensure market stability, and provide egg ingredients for food manufacturing.
Key reasons Israel imports eggs:
- Seasonal and Supply Shortages
Local production can dip due to extreme weather, Avian Influenza outbreaks, or increased holiday demand (e.g., Passover, Rosh Hashanah). Imports ensure consistent availability. - Government-Managed Import Quotas
To stabilize prices and prevent shortages, the Israeli government regularly issues duty-free egg import quotas, often timed with peak demand. - Industrial Demand
Food manufacturers require pasteurized egg products, especially egg powder and liquid egg, for use in baked goods, sauces, and packaged foods. - Cost & Quality Balance
Importing from EU or approved countries enables access to safe, affordable, and Kosher-certified eggs when local prices rise.
Eggs Unlimited supports Israeli buyers by providing pre-certified, government-approved shell and processed eggs, including Kosher-certified options.
What makes eggs in Israel compliant?
Eggs imported into Israel must meet strict food safety, animal health, and religious certification requirements regulated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health, and Chief Rabbinate of Israel.
1. Import Licensing & Documentation
- All egg imports require an Import License issued by the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture.
- Imports must be pre-approved by Veterinary Services (IVSAH) and come from countries with equivalent animal health standards.
- Each shipment must include:
- Veterinary Health Certificate
- Certificate of Origin
- Kosher Certificate (for most commercial uses)
- Lab test results (for Salmonella, residue-free assurance)
- Veterinary Health Certificate
2. Food Safety Requirements
- Eggs must be Salmonella-free and produced in farms with proper biosecurity measures.
- Processed eggs (liquid, frozen, powdered) must be pasteurized and free of additives unless declared.
3. Labeling Requirements
Imported eggs and egg products must be labeled in Hebrew, showing:
- Product name and description
- Country of origin
- Best-before date
- Storage instructions
- Importer’s details
- Kosher certification authority and logo
Eggs Unlimited ensures all shipments to Israel include the appropriate veterinary, food safety, and kosher documentation for smooth customs clearance and regulatory compliance.
How much do eggs cost in Israel?
Egg prices in Israel are influenced by domestic regulation, import tariffs, global feed costs, and seasonal demand.
Key pricing factors:
- Regulated Market & Quotas
Egg prices in Israel are partly controlled by the government. Imports are used strategically during supply gaps and are often duty-free under quota. - Feed and Production Costs
Feed represents a significant portion of production costs. Global grain prices, especially corn and soy, directly impact egg pricing. - High Holiday Demand
During Passover, Rosh Hashanah, and other holidays, demand surges, often requiring emergency imports to control price hikes. - Currency & Shipping Costs
The cost of imported eggs is influenced by ILS/USD or ILS/EUR exchange rates and global freight rates. - Kosher Certification
Kosher-certified eggs and egg products may carry additional cost due to inspection, supervision, and certification fees.
