Overview
Algeria is renowned globally for producing some of the world's finest dates, particularly the prized Deglet Nour variety known as the "queen of all dates." Our client, European Foods Co., approached us seeking to establish a reliable supply chain for premium dates to serve their expanding retail network across Europe.
We partnered with established date farmers in the Biskra and Ouargla regions, areas famous for their ideal climate and traditional cultivation methods. Our team conducted extensive quality assessments and established partnerships with growers who met international food safety standards.
The operation required careful coordination of harvest timing, specialized packaging to preserve freshness, and temperature-controlled logistics throughout the journey from Saharan oases to European distribution centers. Within the first year, we successfully delivered over 250 tons of premium dates, establishing a supply chain that continues to operate seamlessly.
