About Us
We are Hadiklaim – Israel Date Growers' Cooperative, the world's market leader in the Medjool date variety.

OUR DATE GROWERS
Some of our members are relatively large cooperative farms known as kibbutzim. Others are small or medium-sized private growers, often family-run businesses that have been date growers for generations.
Hadiklaim date farms stretch the length of Israel, from the Sea of Galilee in the north through the Dead Sea region, to the Arava Desert down to Eilat.
