About Egyptian Dates
Date purchasing may involve fresh, semi-dry or dried product, and each format has different expectations around variety, moisture, grading, presentation, shelf life and storage.
The product therefore benefits from a precise sourcing brief rather than a generic request for “dates”.

Commercial Buyer Guide
What to consider when sourcing Dates
Practical points to help commercial buyers define a stronger brief before quotations and supplier discussions begin.
Commercial fit
Dates cover very different product styles, from fresh or soft fruit through to firmer and drier presentations. Variety, moisture, texture and intended use should be clear before pricing or supplier comparisons are meaningful.
Specification focus
A date specification can include variety, grade, size, colour, moisture or softness preference, whole or pitted format, tolerance for skin separation or defects, pack size, consumer presentation and any processing requirements. Retail-ready packs may require different capability from bulk industrial supply.
Handling & arrival quality
The appropriate storage and transport regime depends on the variety and product style. Supplier hygiene, sorting, pest control, packaging integrity and traceability should be considered alongside visual quality.
Programme planning
Buyers should identify whether they need a seasonal fresh-date programme, stored dates for extended availability, or product for processing. This helps narrow the supplier base and avoids comparing fundamentally different products.
Buying Dates from Egypt
Dates from Egypt can form part of seasonal or programmed fresh-produce supply for importers, wholesalers, distributors and other commercial buyers. Midori Agriculture supports enquiries by combining the buyer’s requirement with local market knowledge, supplier relationships and practical coordination in Egypt.
Midori Agriculture does not treat produce as a fixed retail catalogue. Availability, grade, variety, packing capability and commercial terms are assessed against the buyer’s live requirement and current crop conditions.
Planning around the Egyptian season
The month-by-month calendar is a planning guide rather than a contractual promise. Harvest and export windows move with weather, growing region, variety, crop development, storage capability, market access and destination specifications. Current availability is reconfirmed before commercial commitment.
Frequently asked questions
Can you assess a one-off shipment?
Yes. Trial, one-off and recurring requirements can be assessed where volume, destination and specification are commercially viable.
Can you work to an existing specification?
Yes. Upload a specification, tender or product sheet with the enquiry so grade, packing, certification and destination requirements can be incorporated from the outset.
Do you only source products listed here?
No. The catalogue focuses on important Egyptian crops. Other agricultural requirements can also be submitted for assessment.
Are the seasonal months guaranteed?
No. They are indicative planning windows and are reconfirmed for the crop year, supplier, destination and requested programme.
