Three International Date Indices
Composite indices tracking price, production and trade momentum for the global date sector, rebased to 2018 = 100.
International Date Price Index
IDPI · Base 2018 = 100
Previous period: 134.1
Tracks weighted average export unit prices of dates across reporting countries and traded varieties.
International Date Production Index
IDPRI · Base 2018 = 100
Previous period: 121.7
Measures the volume of global date production relative to the base period, adjusted for area and yield.
International Date Trade Index
IDTI · Base 2018 = 100
Previous period: 134.6
Composite measure of global date trade momentum combining traded volume, value and market reach.
Comparing the three indices
All three indices share the same 2018 base period, so relative momentum can be read directly from the chart.
What is an index?
An index expresses change relative to a fixed base period, set to 100. A value of 108 means the measured activity is 8% above the base period; 92 means it is 8% below. Indices let policymakers compare price, production and trade momentum on the same scale, independent of currency or volume units.
