Khajoor season is in full swing across Sindh! The Sukkur-Khairpur belt is bustling with activity, producing 40% of Pakistan’s national date crop.

With over 600,000 tons harvested annually, Pakistan ranks among the world’s top six date-producing countries.

But behind the sweet aroma lies a bitter truth: post-harvest losses consume nearly half the yield, and exports have fallen to $52 million in FY22, half of what they were in FY18.

Watch the video for a nuanced tale of Sindh's dates.
