Where It All Begins

Born in the Oases of Southern Tunisia

The Deglet Nour is the jewel of Tunisian agriculture. Cultivated for centuries in the palm groves of Tozeur, Kebili, and Douz.

Tunisia is the world's leading exporter of Deglet Nour, with around 200,000 tonnes produced each year. The intense Saharan sun, arid air, and mineral-rich water give the date its signature translucency and gentle sweetness.

ImEx TN works directly with palm growers and cooperatives in these oasis regions, capturing peak-harvest quality while supporting fair trade practices.
