The latest data on the Qatari Planning and Statistics Authority's website showed
an increase of 8.5 percent in the dates imports from Jordan by the end of the
third quarter, up from 75 tonnes in the same period of 2021.
In 2021 and 2020, respectively, a total of 100 tons were imported by Qatar from
Jordan, while 78 tons were shipped in 2019.
Qatar imports all kinds of dates from Jordan, but mostly Medjool dates, which,
in the last few years, have become widely popular and highly demanded in Qatar
and other markets in the region.
Jordan exports two kinds of dates to Qatar: Medjool and Barhi. The estimated
land size planted with these two types is around 35 square kms aligned with the
Jordan Valley all the way to Aqaba.
There are some half a million palm trees in the Kingdom, producing
approximately 30,000 tonnes. Most of the production gets shipped to Gulf Arab
states, and other Arab and European markets.
