Dates prices can change daily due to some important variables some of which are as below: 

1. Dollar Fluctuations

2. Harvest Time

3. High Seasons such as Ramadan

4. The Dates Quality 

5. The Shipping Procedures: 

  1. The Country of Destination Transportation Cost

   2. Type of Containers 

These are some factors that can impact the prices of the dates every day. 

• Dollar Fluctuations

Generally, dollar fluctuations in the market can affect the final dates’ price and the export procedure. The rise of the dollar can lead to a rise in dates prices occasionally. However, the dates prices do not have noticeable downward fluctuations.  

• Harvest Time

Mostly, the dates have higher prices in the beginning of the harvest time. As time passes, the dates’ prices decline a little. 

• High Seasons & Ramadan

Generally speaking, with the increase in demand, the dates’ prices increase. Ramadan is an example of the high season in which the demands of dates, especially Mazafati, increase. 

• The Dates Quality 

The quality of dates can also be determinative.  High-quality dates such as A or B+++ have usually higher prices, while B-grade dates may be more economical. 

• The Shipping Procedures 

The shipping procedure also plays a key role in dates’ prices. In this field, we have two important items including the destination country and the container types. We elaborate on each in the following: 

   1. The Country of Destination Transportation Cost

In general, the shipping freights depend largely on the distance and the shipping vehicle. For instance, for further countries, we have higher freights, while for surrounding countries like the Emirates, we have lower costs. Additionally, ports and nations with consistent shipping activities tend to have reduced freight costs, such as Nhava Sheva.

   2. Type of Containers 

Reef containers usually cost more since they need a PTI check to make sure they function well.
