The dates are collected in 3-5 harvests in which the first one often negligible rottenness and the next harvests yield the best quality product to be supplied to the market. The harvest time continues till early October and dates are partially sent to the market directly and the rest are stored in cold storage facilities and often sold till early spring next year. The fruit’s appearance indicates whether or not it has been dried. A wrinkled skin fruit is the one dried while the smooth skin presents the fruit’s freshness.
