Jerusalem, 27 April, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Knesset passed a new law that, starting September 1st, reporting on wheat stocks for human consumption and feed to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security will be mandatory.
The law is intended to allow the State to obtain a complete and continuous picture of the operational stock of essential food in the economy, alongside the management of the existing emergency stock, thereby strengthening the state’s preparedness for disruptions in the supply chains and for emergencies. In accordance with the law, entities that hold stocks of wheat for food or fodder components will be required to submit monthly and annual online reports to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, through a dedicated system. The data collected will enable trend analysis, identification of seasonal gaps and assessment of the volume of stocks in real time.
