Early date harvest arrives in Al-Ahsa central markets

AL-AHSA: The first yields of the fresh date harvest have arrived at central markets across Al-Ahsa Oasis, marking the start of a highly anticipated agricultural season that produces over 120,000 tons of dates annually from more than two million palm trees for distribution across Eastern Region and the wider Kingdom. Driven by high summer temperatures that accelerate early ripening, farmers are actively harvesting over 20 renowned date varieties. The early produce is currently being sorted and sold at varying price points based on quality, size, color, and taste profile.
