For a long time now Tnuva has been plagued by mistrust and deceit between management and the milk producing Kibbutz members.

Tnuva CEO, Arik Raichman, has been in a constant battle with the Milk farmers who have been challenging him on most of his activities – going as far as accusing management of misappropriation of funds and lack of Interest in protecting their rights.
