Saudi National Center for Palms and Dates to join SIAL Paris 2026

The National Center for Palms and Dates is preparing to participate in the SIAL Paris 2026 exhibition, held in France from October 17 to 21. The initiative includes more than 19 Saudi date companies and the International Dates Council, aiming to expand the global presence of Saudi dates and increase investment opportunities in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

This participation follows Saudi Arabia's achievement of ranking first globally in the value of date exports for the fourth consecutive year. According to World Trade Center data, the value of date exports in 2025 reached approximately 1.938 billion riyals, representing a 14.3% growth compared to 2024.

At the exhibition, which features over 7,500 exhibitors from 135 countries, the Center intends to showcase the diversity and quality of Saudi dates, including processed products and interactive tasting activities to demonstrate their culinary uses in international markets.
