Though the primary idea of the kibbutz was to establish a Utopia based on agricultural communal life, limited land and water made it necessary to seek other sources of income and employment. Moreover, the remarkable advance of farming techniques, needing fewer hands to produce more, has led toward industrialization. The factories not only provided an economic framework, but also helped solve the employment problems of older members of kibbutz who were no longer able to do field jobs, but were anxious to contribute. Ben-Zion Feinstein, an export consultant to the Kibbutz Industries Association explained: "Kibbutz members work in the plants as they do in agriculture, without dicct remuneration related to their production volume or role.
Managerial roles are rotated and plants are organized on a democratic, non-hierarchal basis." Industry has brought prosperity to the kibbutz. The image of the kibbutz as a spartan pastoral community has totally changed. Living standards have risen and an older kibbutz in Israel today looks like a well-to-do suburb with its vast gardens, modern dining-room and houses. This is in contrast to the poorer "development towns," which are mainly populated by Sephardic Jews who immigrated in the 1950s. The inhabitants of these pre-planned towns often work as hired workers.
By YAEL ADMOM 1982 The Baltimore Sun JERUSALEM Israel's kibbutzim have long been thought of as farming communities where workers cultivate the land on a communal basis. The word kibbutz has come to connote agricultural villages in which all property is collectively owned and in which work is collectively organized. However, many Israeli kibbutzim have changed radically in the past 25 years. Today, industry accounts for over 50 per cent of total kibbutz output and 7 per cent of Israel's total industrial output. "Kibbutzniks" represent only 3 per cent of Israel's population.
The kibbutz industrial structure is characterized by a small work force per plant and high productivity per worker. The four main industrial groups are foodstuffs, electronics and metals, chemicals and plastics, and light industries. Kibbutz Nizzanim in the south of Israel introduced a robot at its plant. The robot not only welds faster than a human, but can hold the parts together while they are being welded without burning its hands. Industrialization in the kibbutz started in the mid-1940s and was limited to agricultural products.
Plants were set up to process fruit and vegetables from the surrounding areas. The purpose was to supply work and employment. Profit was less important because living standards were modest. Later on, kibbutzim started producing agricultural im IIMCLINER KROEHLER sofa incliner. An incliner in each end of sofa.
