"Let people carefully consider whether to convert Gafni's mouth" - Voila! Of money

The Minister of Finance and the Chairman of the Finance Committee: They share the same sofa and the same government but not the same approach to agricultural reform (photo: official website, Walla system!)

Dobi Amitai, the chairman of the Farmers' Association,

is angry. He was sure that the reform in agriculture initiated by the outgoing Minister of Agriculture, Oded Forer, had passed and with the entry of the new government, the dawn of a new day would break over the old order and the situation would return to normal, all based on a clause introduced by H. As Moshe Gafni to the coalition agreement of Torah Judaism with the Likud.

When he learned (as published exclusively in Walla!) that the incoming Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, intends to honor the orders to reduce the tariffs on fruits and vegetables, the second phase of which came into effect at the beginning of January (and at the same time work to bring the change to the plant regulations that stop imports, to a vote in the Economic Committee) , the anger erupted, "Someone misled Gafni," he says.

"And I suggest from my acquaintance with him, that people should carefully consider whether it is right to change Gafni's mouth. Someone inserted half a sentence into the agreement, which left out the lowering of tariffs."

The aforementioned section states, indeed, that a new reform must be promoted, but leaves the moves of the previous government as they are: "On the background of the purposes of agriculture as a Zionist value, a means of preserving land, productive independence and national nutritional security, the government will promote a new reform in the field of agriculture, while finding the right balance between price reductions and the strength of Israeli agriculture. Until the re-formulation of an outline as mentioned above, the reforms in agriculture formulated by the 36th government will be frozen,

."

"The new Israeli government, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, needs to make a strategic decision, whether it wants to preserve the agricultural sector, increase production capacity, strengthen the settlement layout in the periphery and continue to lead the technology in agriculture, because the previous government had no strategy, but was concerned with only one thing - Lowering the cost of living."

"I have never opposed lowering tariffs and competition, but if you want to make a real reform, it should be based on measurable goals and objectives. Everything that was on the table should be deleted, because you and all the citizens of the State of Israel do not know what the State of Israel defines for itself in relation to agriculture."

"We did not sign anything. Lowering tariffs is not a reform. It is a tool that must be used wisely. Reform is setting goals and objectives. I greatly appreciate Smotrich, but a new Minister of Agriculture, Avi Dichter, has come in, and I think it is inappropriate to start moves before that he was given the opportunity to study the ministry.

Read the coalition agreements carefully. This is about a new reform and not applying the previous one. Someone introduced a sophisticated sentence, but it does not give the legitimacy to maintain the current situation, because reform includes the entire move.

"I am with A production value of about 30 billion shekels and wants to reach at least 35 to 37 billion shekels, and for that I need to be given the tools.

I want to increase technological agricultural exports, which once stood at 6 billion shekels and today are barely half and invest in advanced technology."

"I come from the business world, manage companies and entities and build business plans and I tell you that the reform was not built on a business model and there is no measure that the opening of imports led to a reduction in prices."

. People don't want to grow garlic anymore. Synthetic Chinese garlic with no nutritional value is brought to Israel, instead of Israeli garlic."

"There is a plan to lower tariffs in five phases, the second of which has now entered into force. I expect both from the Prime Minister's statements and from the opinion he expressed on agriculture before the elections, as well as from Aryeh Deri, Moshe Gafni,

What was deleted.

What happened happened and this sophisticated sentence will not stand in our way.

I have not yet met with Smotrich, but I intend to work with all the parties to pass a real reform in agriculture and not just a lowering of tariffs."
