Saudi Arabia tops global date exports for 4th year, value up 14.3%

Saudi Arabia maintained its position as the world's leading date exporter for the fourth consecutive year, with export value reaching 1.938 billion Saudi Riyals in 2025, a 14.3% increase year-on-year. The kingdom's dates now reach over 125 countries, reflecting sustained growth in non-oil exports. This continues an established trend rather than a deviation, but underscores Saudi economic diversification efforts.
