Syria has around 142,000 palm trees covering 433 hectares, and only 40% of them are fruit-bearing. Deir ez-Zor accounts for 60% of the cultivated area, while Palmyra accounts for 36%. Local date production meets just 15% of market demand. To increase production, the Ministry of Agriculture is establishing a laboratory in Deir ez-Zor to propagate palm offshoots through tissue culture, supply them to farmers at subsidized prices, and improve farming practices. The plan faces challenges including shortages of high-quality offshoots and their high cost, war damage, climate change, and the spread of the red palm weevil.
