Soaring Meat Prices Plague Israelis, Too

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
stunned public was informed
Tuesday that the price of
frozen meat will rise by near-
ly 50 per cent along with
sharp increases in the prices
of other basic commodities
including sugar, fuel and to-
bacco.
Prices soared after Finance
Minister Pinhas Sapir intro-
duced new subsidy policies
for which the treasury hopes
to get Knesset approval, be-
fore the current fiscal year
ends March 31.
The reduction of govern-
ment prices supports was ex-
pected to raise prices but
Israelis apparently were not
prepared for the steep in-
crease in meat prices and
the 38 per cent rise in the
price of sugar.

Sapir also signed regula-
tions raising the price of gas-

oline by 12 per cent, cigar-
ettes by 15 per cent, cooking
gas, heating fuel and parafin
by about 17 per cent.

The price of flour was also
pn the way up though the ex-
act percentage remained un-
decided.
On the other hand, Sapir
apparently bowing to pres-
sure from Histadrut agreed
not to raise the prices of milk,
dairy products, eggs and
poultry. Price supports on
those items are expected to
be increased.
Sapir told the cabinet this
week that the present subsi-
dies the government pays to
keep prices stable were no
longer adequate.

union's response to the price
hikes.
One of the first reactions
came from the Egged and
Dan bus cooperatives which
warned that they would raise
their fares to cover' the in-
creased cost of gasoline. His-
tadrut urged them to hold
back on fare hikes.
The prices of many staples
will remain steady. These in-
clude fish, tea, coffee, pota-
toes, bread, cocoa 'and edible
oils. The sharply increased
price of sugar is expected to
affect the prices of such foods
as cake, noodles, breakfast
cereals, jams, confectionary
fruits and fruit juices.
