Saudi date exports surpass two billion riyals
The article discusses the date palm and date industry in Saudi Arabia, highlighting that the kingdom is one of the largest producers and exporters worldwide. Its date exports exceeded 2 billion Riyals in 2025, with production being the largest globally, consisting of over 37 million palms and 300 varieties of dates. The total production value reaches 9.2 billion Riyals, and the products are exported to 127 countries. There is a gradual shift toward relying more on local production and reducing imports, which have significantly decreased, with date exports being 56 times higher than imports. The Qassim region is a major hub for this industry, harboring over 11 million date palms and hosting the world's largest date festival. This enhances Saudi Arabia’s economic position and contributes to diversifying non-oil exports.
