Israeli Dairy Board

The Israel Dairy Board (I.D.B.) is the central institution which deals with the planning and regulation of the milk production / processing in Israel.

it was created to regulate Dairy Farming and the Dairy Industry in Israel.

Its establishment is based on laws and official regulations. Regulation in this industry is required because sector is very different from all other agricultural sectors and agro-industries. Milk is supplied on a daily basis by the farmers as raw material at the dairy processing units. Also the dairy products are marketed almost daily and both the raw material and the products are sensitive products with a relatively short shelf life.

In most countries the milk production is correlated to the local demand and normally it is quite expensive to export any surplus production from Israel.
