Exports 30 varieties of dates worldwide

Of the approximately one million tonnes of dates that Saudi Arabia's growers cultivate each year, 300,000 tonnes are exported.

- Our goal is to export the best of our more than 100 varieties worldwide. Next year it is expected to be 500,000 tonnes - says Dr. Abdulrahman Abdullah Al-Zamil, Chairman of the Saudi Chambers of Commerce and Industry.

The country sees FRUIT LOGISTICA as the ideal platform to help achieve this goal. Fourteen growers are exhibiting their dates at the Saudi Pavilion, including the Khudary and Sukkari varieties. Food researchers are reporting on cultivation techniques and the nutritional value of these desert fruits.
