Egypt has officially established the world’s largest date palm farm, boasting a capacity of approximately 2.3 million palm trees across Toshka and East of Al-Awaynat in the New Valley Governorate. The achievement was certified by Guinness World Records in May 2023.
The ambitious project aims to transform Egypt’s date industry by introducing new date varieties, meeting growing international demand, and significantly boosting exports. Beyond its economic potential, the farm underscores Egypt’s commitment to large-scale agricultural innovation and food security initiatives.
Officials say the Toshka and East Al-Awaynat development will not only strengthen Egypt’s position in the global date market but also create employment opportunities and promote sustainable agricultural practices in the region.
This record-setting farm cements Egypt’s reputation as a leading player in global date production and reflects the country’s ongoing efforts to modernize its agricultural sector.
