During the fiscal year 2025-26, Pakistan shipped 138.74 million kilograms of dates to 45 international markets, bringing in $56.57 million in revenue and showing steady global demand for the fruit.
Dried dates brought in the bulk of the income at $40.10 million, while fresh dates accounted for $16.47 million, proving that both types maintained a strong standing in global trade.
The United Arab Emirates bought $37.87 million worth of dates, making up nearly 67% of total export revenue and securing its place as the top buyer for local producers and traders.
Germany placed second by purchasing $4.30 million in Pakistani dates, while the United Kingdom followed closely as another major buyer with imports totaling roughly $3 million.
These shipments demonstrate the broad global footprint of the local date sector across numerous international buyers, emphasizing how much agricultural and processed food exports rely on foreign sales.
Suppliers reached customers far beyond traditional regional borders with both fresh and dried varieties, while sales across 45 nations offer the industry chances to grow its trade network and buyer list.
