India is the largest importer of dates in the world, with more than $ 211 million worth of dates being bought by the country every year. The high population of this country as well as the presence of many Muslims in this country has increased the demand for dates.

Market forecast and export demand of dates
The world has proven over the last few years that it is looking for healthy foods that it can feed its people with. Dates are both a fruit and a food that can be a family meal.
The demand for quality dates worldwide is increasing day by day. Beautiful packaging and quality dates are also the secret of the popularity of Iranian dates. For this reason, Iran, which is now in third place, has the potential to reach first place.
But the problem of the Iranian market is the lack of strong branding. With a little effort and the use of better packaging, we can expect that in the next 10 years, the demand for Iranian dates worldwide will increase so much that Iran will become one of the world’s top exporters of dates.
