Good Dates Platform

The idea

Pakistan is a major date producer, but many growers sell individually at harvest, with little say over price and few ways to prove how their dates were grown. The Good Dates Platform brings growers together around a shared standard (regenerative certification) and a shared route to buyers through Al-Shams Foods.

How it works

• Growers join the platform and register their orchards
• We train them in regenerative orchard practice: soil cover, compost, careful irrigation and fewer synthetic inputs
• Our inspectors check each orchard and prepare the group for certification
• Certified dates go to market through the platform, with records that show where and how they were grown
