Gush Katif's Hi-Tech Vegetables
(Jerusalem Post) Yehekzel Laing - In the sand dunes of Gaza, surrounded by thousands of hostile Arabs, a small business empire has blossomed. Last year the Alei Katif company, located in the besieged settlement of Kfar Darom, pulled in close to NIS 100 million, and expects to grow by a robust 20% in the coming year by producing and selling the world's first guaranteed bug-free vegetables. "We hermetically sealed some greenhouses with nylon sheeting and grew lettuce. On our first attempt, lo and behold, we got a clean crop," explained company CEO Eliezer Barat.
