Jerusalem, 24 April, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The results of the periodic price calculation by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security showed that the prices of dairy products under consumer supervision should be updated by 1.05%. This will come into effect on May 1, 2026.
The main part of the update stems from a retroactive component of approximately +1.28%. The increase was moderated by a decrease in the current component of -0.23% compared to the previous update.
Egg prices will remain unchanged.
The current component was affected by a decrease in the price of raw milk of approximately -0.6%, an increase in the consumer price index of approximately +2%, and an increase in the wage index of approximately +0.9%.
The prices of dairy products under supervision are updated in accordance with the supervision order, which establishes an automatic mechanism based on a fixed formula. The mechanism takes into account changes in production costs, as reflected in the input and price indices, and does not require ministerial signature. The review of the need for an update takes effect on April 1, based on price index data, and if an update is found to be required, it takes effect the following month, i.e. May 2026.
