Despite a 14% increase in production over last year, the success of Tunisia's Deglet Nour date export campaign remains to be seen. He adds: "For all these reasons, Deglet Nour dates are the most widely exported dates for the month of Ramadan, to North Africa and Europe. Fortunately, growers were able to keep their heads above water thanks to strong demand from the local Tunisian market throughout the season, according to Sadok. Tunisian dates remain among the most competitive on the European market, especially if you take into account the cost of transport. We hope that the unusual lack of demand this season will come to an end with the month of Ramadan".
