Medjoul Dates

The Fair Trade Department markets the Medjoul dates, the finest kind of dates, which comes from Palestinian farmers in Jericho area. This kind of dates is marketed for the benefit of farmers in cooperation with the Palm Farmers Cooperative in Jericho.
The supervision staff in the Fair Trade Department makes repetitive visits to the palm farms and provide the farmers with consultations around how to pick dates and prepare the product to be sent to the filling station in Jericho city. The staff usually recommends that the farmers cover the dates before maturity with plastic bags to protect the fruits from insects and birds and to prevent their fall on the ground.

The farmers later undertake a process of initial sorting for dates where they get rid of ruined or immature fruits and send the product to the filling station in Jericho in plastic boxes. Another process of sorting is also made in the station where the dates with appropriate humidity level go to the processing while the dates with inappropriate level of humidity are dried until they reach the suitable level.
The last step is to sort the dates into two classes (A&B) and keep them in refrigerators under 4 Celsius degrees after they get packaged in 1 kg and 5 kg packets.
