Under the directives of the late His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, “May God have mercy on him”, there are continual efforts to increase UAE date palm productivity, to make better use of the date palm industry and to produce an agricultural leap that will change the face of the UAE desert.
Indeed, the Seventh International Date Palm Conference illustrates the special attention and priority given by His Highness to this important economic sector. The present conference is the seventh one in a series of international conferences organized by UAE during the last 24 years (08 –10 March, 1998, 25 – 27 March, 2001, 19 – 21 February 2006, 15 – 17 March, 2010, 16 – 18 March, 2014 and 19 – 21 March, 2018).
