In 2022 it had a population of 1,068.[1] In 2014, Forbes Israel ranked the Kibbutz as the 6th richest in Israel with an estimated value of 250 million Shekels.[2]
The kibbutz grows produce including mainly avocado, lychee and citrus fruits. The kibbutz has large dairy farm of 600 milk cows, thousand acres of fields, and a large chicken breeding farm.[citation needed]
The main economical power of the kibbutz comes from the company Palram, which mainly manufactures plastic sheets for the building industry .[5] and Canopia which manufacturers garden and outdoor products.[6]
Beginning in the 1970s, Ramat Yohanan hosted an ulpan program. In recent years aimed primarily at American and Russian students, the program ceased operating in 2017 mostly due to Israeli government changes to immigration evaluations.[citation needed]
