PA Produce Exports Still Higher than Before the Violence
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Despite the widespread perception that the violence, roadblocks, and curfews in the West Bank and Gaza have put an end to Israeli-Palestinian cooperation, more tons of produce were sent to Israel from the West Bank and Gaza in 2002 than in 1999, the year before the violence began. According to the Agriculture Ministry, some 103,000 tons of produce passed from Palestinian Authority areas to Israel in 2002, slightly down from 105,000 tons in 2001. By contrast, 96,000 tons were transferred in 2000 and 97,000 in 1999.
