Egypt among top date producers
Egypt ranks as the world's leading producer of dates, with an annual production of around 2.2 million tons. The palm and date sector in Egypt comprises over 27 million palm trees, including 21 million fruitful palms. This position is part of efforts to enhance cooperation and standardize specifications among producing and consuming countries, with a focus on improving product quality, increasing added value, and expanding global markets. The sector also aims to ensure resource sustainability, protect palms from pests, and develop markets and processing industries to boost economic returns. This is guided by the Dates Council's strategy for the period 2026–2030, which emphasizes increasing productivity and date quality, as well as facilitating their entry into international markets.
