An important attribute of Pakistan dates is that they are the
EARLIEST ripening dates varieties in the world. While in rest of
the world, dates ripen in the months of September and October,
Pakistani dates are harvested in the month of July. Pakistani
exporters of dates are thus able to make shipments of
scientifically processed (current crop) dates from the first
week of August.
Similarly, Pakistani honey is famous world-over for its higher
quality. Honey obtained from Sidder flowers is the most sought
after honey variety by international buyers of honey.
Pakistan Honey and Dates Show 2006 will be an excellent
opportunity for Honey and Dates importers in various countries
in the world to find new, reliable sources of supply of these
items in Pakistan. The buyers will certainly find prices of
these items very attractive.
