Al-mithnab: Al-Mithnab Red Sukkari dates take center stage during the governorate's date season, emerging as one of its most prominent agricultural products and a cornerstone of its local identity. Their circulation extends from auction squares to markets across the Kingdom, supported by the governorate's diverse production of more than 70 date varieties.
According to Saudi Press Agency, this diversity is supported by a production base of more than 3,000 farms, home to over one million palm trees. During the season, these farms produce a wide range of dates, including Red Sukkari, Barhi, Khalas, and other varieties that differ in their characteristics, sizes, and ripeness.
Before being offered at auction, the dates undergo daily monitoring and inspection as part of a system designed to ensure their safety and quality. Trading then begins in the auction yard, which serves as a meeting point for farmers, marketers, and traders. Packaging, loading, and shipping continue to various destinations across the Kingdom, allowing Al-Mithnab Red Sukkari dates to reach consumers beyond the governorate.
