Export receipts of Tunisian dates reach record of over 700 MD

The Tunisian dates export revenues reached a record of over 700 Million Dinars (MD) announced, Tuesday, the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources and Fisheries.

For the current season (October 1, 2017-July 27, 2018), the date export receipts edged up 32.6% in value to reach 700,832 MD against 528,263 MD, during the same period in 2017.

Tunisia exported about 119,710 thousand tonnes of dates during this season, against 102,869 thousand tonnes over the past season, up 16.37%,

This leap is due to the development of exports to traditional markets, such as Morocco (+ 25% in exported quantities) and Spain (+ 49% in exported quantities).

It is also due to the rise in export operations in new non-traditional markets, including the United States, where the quantities exported reached over 8,800 tonnes (+ 117%) and India (+ 182%).
