لماذا تٌعتبر مصر من أفضل الدول في إنتاج وتصدير التمور؟

When we talk about Egyptian dates, we’re not just referring to an agricultural product — we’re talking about a heritage that spans thousands of years, and a quality that has turned the phrase “Dates from Egypt” into a mark of growing demand in global markets year after year.

In recent years, companies like Oasis Gold have set an outstanding example of professional date export, offering premium-quality varieties such as Shahdi, Medjool, and traditional Egyptian dates (Siwi – Sa’idi) sourced directly from the heart of the Egyptian oases.

📊 Figures That Reflect Leadership

• Egypt ranks first globally in date production by volume, with an annual output exceeding 1.7 million tons according to reports by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
• Egypt accounts for approximately 18% of global date production, with cultivation spread across more than 15 governorates — most notably the Bahariya Oasis, the New Valley, and Toshka.
• Egyptian dates are exported to more than 70 countries, most notably: Indonesia, Morocco, Turkey, Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, and Germany.
