Top ten producing dates countries, 2001..

The bar chart shows the top ten countries producing dates and their annual production in tonnes, 2001.

First, Egypt took the lion's share of production with over 1 million tonnes while Libya took the last rank with 0.1 million tonnes. Iran came in the second rank with more than 0.8 million tonnes. The UAE produced approximately 0.8 million tonnes which is a little bit more than Saudi Arabia. Pakistan's production was exactly the same to Iraq's production with more than 0.6 million tonnes. Algeria's crop was half of the UAE's crop and produced approximately 400,000 tonnes. Finally, Oman supplied the world with nearly 250,000 tonnes while Sudan produced approximately 200,000 tonnes.

In conclusion I’d like to say that dates are not only a great way to get minerals but also a luxury treat and traditional sweet which is not very cheap to get, that is why H.H.S.Zayed Bin Sultan was interested in this treasure.
