Dates

Egypt leads the world in date production, producing approximately 1,084,529 metric tonnes per year, accounting for more than 17% of global date production. However, its share of global exports is only 3%. Since 1993, Egypt’s date cultivation has increased significantly, with an estimated 15,582,000 date palm trees. Morocco imports more than half (53%), followed by Indonesia (24%), and Malaysia (15%). Egyptian dates are known for their high quality and competitive pricing, making them a top choice for date importers. ALASEEL IMPORT AND EXPORT has invested in cutting-edge washing and drying lines, as well as Egypt’s first date sterilisation line. The company exports various Egyptian date varieties, such as Al-Saidi (ALWADI ALGdid), Al-barhi, Al-Majdouli, and Bahariya Oasis dates.
