Farmers' Federation of Israel

The Farmers' Federation of Israel is an agricultural association based in Israel that represents the professional, economic, and social interests of private farming families while advocating on their behalf to various government agencies. Operating through a widespread network of local branches, the organization historically scaled its operations to support more than 8,000 member families across 42 primary villages and approximately 60 additional settlements. The member-funded federation manages a vast infrastructure of affiliated businesses, including 80 general agricultural cooperatives, 10 citrus-growing cooperatives, and 11 transportation cooperatives. Its membership base and service network primarily encompass regional kibbutzim and moshavim, providing these agricultural settlements with essential supply, marketing, taxation, and mortgage services. The organization was originally founded in 1920 as the Union of Moshavot in Judea and Samaria before officially adopting its current name following Israeli independence.
