The Company's Involvement in the Occupation:

In its 2011 annual report (published in March 2012), Mehadrin declares that the company is expected to expand as a result of the liquidation of Agrexco (Mehadrin's main competitor), highlighting that it has signed contracts with some of Agrexco's citrus, avocado, persimmon and date growers. Following these developments, the company states it expects an "addition of approximately 1000-1500 tons of dates, mainly of the medjool type... Some of the products are grown in the Jordan Valley and in the Arabah."

In addition, the company owns a packing house for mangoes in the occupied Golan Heights, through its subsidiary Miriam Shoham (50%).
