Dates trading · Dubai
Gulf dates, packed in Dubai,
shipped to Britain.
We buy Medjool, Khalas, Sukkari, Ajwa and more from growers across the Gulf, grade and pack them in Dubai, and ship to importers in the UK and other countries.
What we do
Between the palm and your warehouse.
Most UK buyers never meet the farms. We do that part. Our team in Dubai picks the fruit at harvest, checks moisture and size, and packs it to your spec before it leaves the Gulf.
You deal with one company for the fruit, the cartons, the paperwork and the container.
