  • Does Egypt export date palms?
  • Although the cultivation of date palms has developed considerably and great attention has been given to date production in Egypt, the level of date exportation is considered low compared with other date producing countries. Only 10,000 mt are exported per year, accounting for less than 1 % of the total volume of production (Saleh 1999 ).
  • Why is date palm cultivation important in Egypt?
  • Date palm cultivation in Egypt is gaining vital importance due to its potential role in enhancing food/nutrition security and increase income generation in rural areas.
  • What is the average yield of date palms in Egypt?
  • At present, Egypt is the leading country in terms of average yield as well as the total production of dates. Average yield of the date palm in Egypt is about 102 kg per tree, calculated on the base of the bearing palms. This figure is very high compared to the world average which is about 50 kg per tree.
  • What is date palm conservation in Egypt?
  • Date palm conservation in Egypt is mainly the responsibility of the Central Laboratory of Date Palm Research and Development gene bank (CLDPRD). In this respect, a total of 52 cultivars were collected, representing dry, semidry, and soft date palm fruits in Egypt.
