The Date Harvest in Khuzestan

The village of Ghazavieh lies in the central district of Karun County in Khuzestan province, close to Ahvaz: one of just three date-producing provinces in Iran. It is surrounded by beautiful groves from which large amounts of dates are harvested every year by farmers and date palm owners. This year, about 85,000 tons of dates - worth about US$100 million - were harvested in Khuzestan during the picking season. They're now being packaged and prepared for export.
