Eritrean Date Production: Making Noticeable Progress
A Monthly Newsletter Prepared by the Public Relations Division, Issue No 66, December 2023
The Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) has been promoting date palm plantation ever since 2003. And to date, there are more than 23,000 date palm trees distributed in around 150 hectares of land, and have already started bearing dates. Currently, many farmers are able to produce good quality dates, and five varieties were presented and tasted officially in the commemoration of World Food Day, and International Day for the Eradication of Poverty marked on 16 October 2023. The Public Relations Division of the MoA has conducted a brief interview with some senior experts and farmers who made date production a reality.
