Dates Farming - Dates Harvesting & Egyptian Kahk Making - Agriculture Technology (AgTech Xperts TV)

Egypt is one of the world’s largest producers of dates in the world. Producing about 20 to 25 percent of the world’s dates they are one of the most dominant players in the global date market. This is because of Egypt's climate, large plantations, and long and historied relationship with the date and its cultivation.

Areas of interest for the product of dates would include the Nile Delta and Oases like Siwa and Kharga. These locations and the country as a whole have the perfect conditions for growing dates.

To understand why the climate of Egypt is perfect for the cultivation of dates we need to know what conditions are perfect for growing dates. The date palm is a plant that likes to grow in dry and arid environments. Ideally, the temperature that the date likes to grow in is somewhere around the range of 32° Celcius to 40° Celcius during the growing season with temperatures exceeding over 38 degrees Celsius in the summer. Additionally dates like to grow in full sunlight, this is essential for the trees to produce high-quality and good-tasting yields. Additionally, dates grow well in dry humidity environments with minimal rainfall, generally less than 4-6 inches of rain annually. The reason for this is that excess moisture can hinder the growth of dates. This shows in the types of soil in which the date tree likes to grow, preferring well-drained, sand,y, and loamy soils which are the best for the date tree because they don’t like to be waterlogged.
