STORYLINE:
Ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the Tunisian government has organized a market in Tunis to sell dates at an affordable price.
The dates in this market mainly come from the date-growing region in south Tunisia. Due to the reduction of intermediate costs, the price of dates here is much cheaper.
Dates are rich in sugar and energy. They are the main food for Arab people during Ramadan and are also gifts between relatives and friends.
Tunisia is a major producer of dates in Africa. More than half of the dates harvested in the country are exported to other Arab countries and to European countries.
