UAE dates exports jump fivefold in last decade as government continues to support farmers
Sharjah: Date production is booming in the UAE as government initiatives start to trickle down into profits for farmers.
The Al Dhaid Date Festival that took place in the UAE’s emirate of Sharjah in late July is the latest example of the support the government is giving to the food sector. The annual event brought together thousands of farmers, manufacturers, and distributors of agricultural equipment to facilitate deals and exchange of expertise.
