This variety of date, renowned for its sweetness and tenderness, has adapted remarkably to the Mediterranean climate.
Local farmer Ismail Ben Saoud, who pioneered the cultivation of Majhoul dates in the region, has seen significant success. Despite initial skepticism, his experiment has proven fruitful, yielding high-quality dates that are in high demand both domestically and internationally.
The success of the Majhoul date cultivation in Libya highlights the potential for agricultural innovation and diversification in the country. As Libya seeks to rebuild its economy and reduce its reliance on oil, agriculture is emerging as a key sector.
By embracing new farming techniques and introducing high-value crops like the Majhoul date, Libya can create sustainable economic opportunities and improve food security.
