Gaza grapes reach markets despite damage
Gaza is suffering from the destruction of approximately 90% of its vineyards due to the Israeli war, as the cultivated land area has decreased from 3,000 to just 30 dunams. The price of a kilogram has risen to 25 shekels, compared to 5 shekels before the war. The damages have caused direct losses estimated at $2.8 billion, with 94% of agricultural land and 85% of greenhouses destroyed, leading to a significant decline in production. Despite this, farmers continue their efforts to revive grape cultivation, even as production costs have increased. They now use animals for transportation of their products due to the rising costs of logistics.
