The Khalifar Date Palm organization recently honoured a local date producer and exporter for its implausible contribution to growing high quality dates commonly consumed in the Middle East and Asian markets.
The Secretary General of Khalifa Date Palm, Professor Zaid presented the Pioneering Award to Desert Fruit which was shared with Sahama Agriculture based in Morroco.
This is in recognition of Desert Fruit’s contribution to date production as a commercial agricultural activity been conducted in the Southern hemisphere, specifically citing the local producer for its high quality, production volumes and variety.
His Highness, Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, who serves as chair of the Board of Trustees of the Khalifa International Awards for Date Palm and Agricultural Innovation said these awards serve to give recognition to the effort and contribution of both individuals and institutions in the field of date palm research in general and date production in particular.
He expressed the hope that recipients will be encouraged and motivated to continue their work to improve the quality and the yields of the date palm industry.
Desert Fruit Managing Director, Seth Holmes expressed both his delight and his modesty for receiving the award.
“We are proud of the work done by Desert Fruit Namibia and the recognition for the company and Namibia as a whole. This international award highlights our efforts of planting, harvesting and exporting dates as well as the work we do in the community,” he stated.
