UAE Dates Market Size to Reach USD 129.22 Million by 2030: What Factors Are Driving Growth? | MarkNtel Advisors
Why Is the UAE Dates Market Growing So Rapidly?
The UAE has emerged as a global center for date farming and exports, producing over 400,000 metric tons annually across more than 40 million palm trees. Its climate conditions create a natural advantage, making the country a leader in the industry.
In addition to agriculture, religious and cultural practices fuel strong demand. Dates hold deep significance in Islam, particularly during Ramadan, when consumption spikes. With nearly 80% of the population being Muslim, this seasonal demand provides a major boost to sales.

Programs like Integrated Pest Management and Good Post-Harvest Practices are being deployed to improve tree health and raise yields.
Financial aid is also making farming more sustainable. For instance, the Khalifa Fund helps reduce electricity expenses by up to 90%, easing financial pressure on growers. In 2023, the Abu Dhabi Agriculture & Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) conducted surveys of more than 22,500 farms under the Palm Pest Management Program, underscoring its commitment to quality control and farmer training.

What Role Does Global Demand Play in Market Expansion?
The UAE's influence stretches well beyond its borders, as it serves as a key exporter to over 100 countries, including India, Morocco, the UK, and the US. Exports exceed 12,000 metric tons annually, helping to strengthen global trade ties.
Upgrades to logistics infrastructure, particularly at Jebel Ali Port, have further supported growth. Between 2020 and 2024, the port reported a 40% increase in date trade, thanks to new cold storage facilities. By 2024, the UAE also expanded exports to 14 new countries, creating additional international opportunities.
What Challenges Could Hinder UAE Dates Market Growth?
Despite this progress, the industry faces some hurdles:
◾ High production costs: Expenses related to irrigation, fertilizers, labor, and technology make farming costly, especially for smaller producers. The heavy reliance on desalinated water raises costs even further.
◾ Pest infestations: Outbreaks from the red palm weevil and stem borer remain significant threats. In 2024, thousands of trees were destroyed, and over 2 million palms required treatment, which raised operational expenses.
