Ammon News - The Third Souq Waqif International Dates Exhibition, currently underway in Doha, is experiencing a notable surge in interest for Jordanian dates, which are prominently featured by a variety of exhibitors.

Among the many offerings, Jordanian dates, especially the famed Medjool variety, have captured the attention of a diverse group of consumers. These dates are showcased by several participating companies, highlighting the broad appeal of Jordanian produce at this prestigious event.

The exhibition, which runs until Sunday, presents an impressive range of high-end dates, innovative date-based products, and the latest advancements in date processing and packaging. This provides visitors with an immersive experience that caters to both consumer tastes and industry expectations.

The primary goal of the event is to offer premium dates and date-related products to the public, while also fostering stronger commercial ties between date producers, suppliers, and traders from around the globe. The exhibition is particularly timely, as it offers an ideal opportunity for purchasing high-quality dates ahead of the upcoming Ramadan season, during which dates play a central role in daily meals.

In addition to traditional dates, the event also showcases date derivatives such as date syrup and Ma’amoul (date-filled pastries), further broadening its appeal to a wide audience.

Khalid Saif al-Suwaidi, the exhibition's general supervisor, highlighted the strategic timing of the event, noting that it coincides with the lead-up to Ramadan when demand for dates typically peaks.

Al-Suwaidi emphasized that the exhibition not only aims to provide consumers with access to the finest dates but also supports producers and traders in expanding their market reach.

The selection process for exhibitors was rigorous, with a focus on product quality, adherence to health and safety standards, and the ability to offer competitive products that meet the evolving demands of the Qatari market.

Al-Suwaidi further noted the exhibition’s success in reflecting the growth and development of the date industry, as well as the increasing commitment of producers to offer high-quality dates that can compete with international brands.

The exhibition has provided a vital platform for exhibitors and visitors alike, facilitating valuable interactions between producers, suppliers, and consumers, while showcasing the latest innovations in date production.

Visitors to the exhibition have expressed their appreciation for the variety and quality of dates available, particularly Medjool dates, which remain among the most sought-after varieties. Petra
