Three Israeli farm companies advertise exports from occupied West Bank to Spain, defying settlement products ban

Despite a strict Spanish ban on products from the illegally-occupied territories, three Israeli agricultural giants are openly boasting about shipping dates and nuts into the country — raising questions over loopholes in Spanish customs and law enforcement.

Field Produce Marketing, Hadiklaim, and Agrifood Marketing are three Israeli companies focused on the production and sale of peanuts, almonds, and, above all, dates.

All three have plantations and warehouses in the Palestinian and Syrian territories illegally occupied by Israel in the West Bank and the Golan Heights.

And all three export agricultural products to several European Union countries, including Spain.

This is the conclusion of a recent investigation by the French group International Cooperation for Development and Solidarity (CIDSE) and the Israeli research centre Who Profits, published by EUobserver.
