Nir Akiva, Agricultural moshav in Merhavim Regional Council, Israel.
Located at an elevation of 155 meters above sea level, Nir Akiva spans across 1,000 dunams in the northwestern region of the Negev desert.
Established in 1953, Nir Akiva received its name from Akiva Etinger, a Jewish Agency Settlement Department leader who influenced regional development.
The moshav maintains a cooperative agricultural structure where families operate individual farms while sharing community resources and participating in local governance.
The population of 714 residents contributes to the agricultural production through cultivation of vegetables, flowers, and other crops suitable for export markets.
Former resident Amir Peretz operated a successful farm during the late 1970s, cultivating vegetables and flowers that entered international trade channels.
