Council launches the Global Date Sector Annual Review 2026

The International Date Council today published the Global Date Sector Annual Review 2026, its principal statistical publication covering production, trade, consumption and prices across more than forty reporting members.

The review confirms that global output reached an estimated 9.8 million tonnes, a 4.8% increase on the previous year, with yield gains rather than area expansion accounting for most of the growth.

The publication is available through the Reports section, alongside the underlying datasets referenced throughout the analysis.
