Palestine Today reports that, over the past several months, Gaza farmers have exported some five tons of spices to the US market, as well as 25 tons of spices to Europe this year.
Basil and mint are among the exports, and Gaza farmers are looking to add more spice crops, which have a higher profit margin and longer shelf life than vegetables.
The article doesn't mention that Israel helps Gaza farmers get up to speed on the latest farming techniques and they also help them export their goods.
I wonder how these spices are labeled. While Israel might approve the exports, that doesn't mean Americans want to inadvertently buy spices where some of the money ends up paying Hamas taxes.
Is it time to start a Gaza boycott campaign?
