"The palm tree lives with its feet in the water and head in the sun" and despite this resistance to climatic vagaries, the date fruit is fragile, unpredictable and perishable.

These conditions, especially water depletion and droughts have led in recent years to enormous quality problems especially the increase in the rate of dry dates, reducing the rate of half fat dates as well as various pest diseases.

Aware that water is the solution to all problems, South Organic engages with its partners in a  "water saving" project for the preservation of the quality of dates and protection of ecosystems in the oases which remains the fundamental axis of the South Organic sustainable development policy.
