Competitors
Currently, there are no professional domestic growers cultivating Medjool dates in India at scale. The market is primarily supplied by imports from Middle Eastern countries. Our business is uniquely positioned to disrupt this status quo by offering high-quality, locally grown Medjool dates that can competitively undercut imported prices by ₹100 to ₹200 per kilogram. This pricing advantage, combined with superior supply chain reliability and elimination of currency fluctuation risks, allows us to provide wholesalers with a more affordable and dependable alternative to imported dates.
