The opening as it read in 2025
HaMerkaz HaHakla'i Building in Tel Aviv HaMerkaz HaHakla'i ( Hebrew : המרכז החקלאי , lit. ' The Agricultural Centre ' ), also referred to simply as Merkaz Hakla'i , is an umbrella organization covering the economic and social functioning of a large part of the agricultural settlements in Israel. It is the executive of the Agricultural Workers Union [ he ] , which was established in 1919. In English it has been variously called the Central Agricultural Office, or the Agricultural Executive Centre, one of the "national frameworks set up prior to the founding of the State". It has been described as the main Jewish agricultural planning organisation of the British Mandate period, which connected the general workers' trade union ( Histadrut ) and the associated kibbutz movement , with the Zionist Organization (ZO). The Agricultural Centre played a major role in creating a centralised settlement and agricultural plan. It was in charge of coordinating Jewish agricultural activities by organising settlements into block committees and regional councils, allocating land, etc. After the 1948 war , the Agricultural Centre, directly or through its regional councils, distributed land from abandoned Arab farms to the Jewish settlements (individual or in blocks) who were applying for such lease agreements.
