A 9 July 2026 announcement by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture put the country’s date production in 2024 at 1.92 million tonnes. The production year should not be confused with the date of the 2026 announcement or harvest season.
The ministry also reported 37.6 million date palms for that period, of which 32.2 million were productive. Tree counts are separate from production tonnage; the figures are not a 2026 output result.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
