Beginning of date harvest in Ramshir
The director of Ramshir Agricultural Jihad said: the guaranteed harvest and purchase of dates from farmers has started in Ramshir.
Mostafa Honarmandian stated: The fertile date palm area of the city reaches 300 hectares and our production forecast is to harvest 1800 tons of various date products.
He added: We anticipate that an average of 6 tons of dates will be harvested from the lands per hectare. Ramshir cultivars include Colon, Gantar and Khazravi cultivars, the main production of which is Colonial cultivar.
The artists stated: The date harvest continues until the middle of October, and currently the city’s date products are purchased by the Rural Cooperative Office as a guarantee. Most of this purchase is spent on the colonial cultivar due to its export nature and high production volume.
