Shalom to all, Israel is an important political, economic and trade partner for the United States. Tel-Aviv, the capital of Israel, ranks as one of the highest income per capital cities in the world. In 2019, Israel’s imports of consumer-oriented agriculture stood at $3.6 billion. The United States is the largest supplier with approximately 11 percent of the market. Israel’s population of 9.34 million and GDP of $385 billion ($40,800 per capita) offer many opportunities for U.S. exporters, so please share this invitation to hear directly from our FAS Tel-Aviv team with all your members.
I have attached the Invitation along with the Agenda. The event will be hosted on MS Teams – simply click on the link provided in this invitation to attend. The event will run for ninety minutes, with thirty minutes at the end for question and answer.
