The palm and dates sector in Saudi Arabia plays a crucial role in diversifying income sources and boosting GDP by developing non-oil revenues and enhancing the national export system, aligning with the Saudi Vision 2030. The sector is expanding, with the number of palm trees and date production growing steadily, reaching hundreds of thousands of tons annually.
Dates hold a special place in Saudi culture, being central to traditional hospitality and a prestigious offering for guests. This significance is reflected in the nation's logo, featuring the palm, symbolizing its deep-rooted importance to Saudi identity and heritage.
