News & Events

Welcome to the news and events page of DateStocks – the European Dates Distribution Center. This page provides updates about our planned dates distribution, processing, packaging and international supply-chain development project.

European Dates Processing and Distribution Project 2026–2027

DateStocks is developing a project focused on the distribution, handling, sorting, cleaning, processing and packaging of dates for European and international markets. The project is intended to connect date producers, exporters, importers, food manufacturers, distributors and commercial buyers through an integrated dates supply chain.

The proposed development includes evaluating specialized food-processing facilities and value-added production options, including date paste, date syrup and date sugar, subject to technical feasibility, investment decisions, applicable approvals and market demand.

Planned Investment and Development

The project is being developed around a proposed investment capital target of €10 million. This amount represents the planned project financing target and should not be understood as confirmation that the full investment has already been secured or spent. The project schedule, facility capacity and operational launch remain subject to financing, implementation planning, regulatory requirements and commercial agreements.

International Dates Sourcing

The project is exploring supply and commercial cooperation with dates producers and trading partners in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, Algeria, Palestine and Jordan, as well as potential partners in the United States and Australia. Specific sourcing arrangements depend on supplier qualification, product specifications, trade conditions and agreements.

Transport and European Logistics

Potential logistics routes include road transport through Turkey and maritime transport through ports in Italy and Spain, subject to route availability, shipping schedules, customs procedures and commercial arrangements. The final logistics network will depend on the origin of each shipment and the destination market.

Dates Products and Value-Added Processing

DateStocks is evaluating opportunities across the dates supply chain, including dates processing in Europe, dates import, export and distribution, dates sorting and packaging, and potential value-added products such as date paste, date syrup and date sugar. Product availability and manufacturing scope will depend on the final project design and approved specifications.
