President Zalman Shazar opened Israel’s International Trade Fair on the Tel Aviv fair grounds last night where 829 exhibitors from 33 countries will show off everything from farm machinery to kitchenware in an effort to woo Israeli customers. As in past years, the United States pavilion will be a major attraction. Forty-eight U.S. manufacturers are exhibiting. The American exhibit focuses on food-processing and packaging machinery worth nearly a million dollars. The Rumanian pavilion is also expected to draw large crowds by virtue of being the only Eastern European country participating in the fair, and the trade agreements recently signed between Israel and Rumania. The British pavilion will have a military band to entice viewers. The fair runs through June 22.
