TEHRAN \u2013 Iran, the world’s second-largest date producer, exported 30 percent of its crop this year, generating $400 million in revenue, the head of the National Association of Iranian Dates said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Mohsen Rashid Farrokhi told IRNA that Iran produces about 1.4 million tons of dates annually from 300,000 hectares of farmland, ranking behind Egypt in global production.<\/p>\n

“Iran leads the world in date variety, offering a wide range of types to suit different tastes,” he added.<\/p>\n

Farrokhi noted that around 350,000 tons of Iranian dates\u201430 percent of total production\u2014are exported, particularly during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, with key markets including East Asia, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), India, the European Union, and Russia.<\/p>\n

Domestically, 70 percent of Iran\u2019s date production is consumed, with 40 percent of it used during Ramadan.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s major date-producing provinces include Sistan-Baluchestan, Hormozgan, Khuzestan, Bushehr, Fars, and Kerman.<\/p>\n

Farrokhi attributed date prices to supply and demand but assured that sufficient stocks are available in supermarkets and fresh produce markets, supported by Iran\u2019s Ministry of Agriculture and the Central Organization for Rural Cooperatives.<\/p>\n
