Egypt seeks to boost dates industry for export
Saied Sobhy, a 34 year old farmer climbs a palm tree to pick dates during the harvest season at Dahshour village, south of Giza governorate, Egypt October 4, 2022. Egypt is one of the largest producers of dates with a production of 1.8 million tonnes annually, but exports only around 40,000-50,000 tonnes because of logistical challenges.
