About the Program 

The program supports small-scale farmers by purchasing their dates at preferential prices. To qualify, farms must use modern irrigation systems to promote water conservation across the Kingdom. Once collected, the dates are processed and distributed to beneficiaries across all regions, including more than 450 associations nationwide. They are also shipped domestically and internationally as gifts from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. 

Program Objectives 

• Increase the income of small farm owners by purchasing their date harvest at competitive prices. 
• Improve farm performance by limiting program registration to farmers who implement sound agricultural practices. 
• Promote efficient use of irrigation water by restricting participation to farmers using modern irrigation systems. 
• Enhance the Kingdom’s humanitarian leadership by packaging and distributing the collected dates as gifts from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to families in need worldwide.
