Abstract

Egypt produces more than 1.6 million tons of dates. It is considered one of the first countries in the production of dates. However, the export of Egyptian dates does not exceed 5% of the total production. This is due to several reasons, including the low quality of some varieties, the perishable of some other varieties. Also, the low quality of dates due to not application of good agricultural practices completely in the small farm during harvest and after harvest. The application of quality and safety standards for dates in date factories, such as prerequisite programs, good hygiene practices for workers inside the food establishments, and the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system are among the most important factors for the success of the date marketing. This article will present the basics of the quality and safety of dates in factories in terms of infrastructure, factory workers and some technical aspects of date products from the beginning of receipt to the marketing of these products.
