Dates Product


The bar graph shows date production in tones for the world's top producers in 2001. Ten countries in the Gulf region and northern Africa are featured.

Overall, Egypt and Iran account for to the majority of goods whilst Sudan and Libya are in the minority. First, Egypt took the lion's share of production with over a million tones but Iran was a close second with almost 0.9 million. Following them came’s the UAE and Saudi Arabia rivaling each other with about 740,000 tons each. Pakistan and Iraq, with outputs of approximately 630,000, were not far behind. The rest of the nations, however, were far less productive. Algeria supplied the world with nearly 400,000 tones and Oman around a quarter million. Finally, Sudan’s and Libya's crops yielded under 0.2 million each.

In summary, date production is the most abundant in Egypt and Iran. In contrast, harvests in Oman and countries in northern Africa are far less plentiful.
