Meanwhile, it is believed to substitute the chemicals with natural ingredients, meaning that dates are going to play a major role in daily diets in modern nations as well.
Hence, at Greenmile, as a grower and producer we are commited to producing dates outstandingly.
As soon as the dates are harvested by hand in Iran, they are immediately stored at minus 10 degree to halt further ripening and lock in flavours. The fruit normally is cleaned using state-of-the-art technologies, before being assessed and graded to match stringent standards for size, colour, translucency and skin condition. This ensures quality and consistency and is why every Greenmile is one of the bests.
There are many measures taken during storage and sorting in our site, to ensure the high quality dates along with the safety of dates, according to ISO, BRC, IFS requirements.
Using the best farming practices, Greenmile’s cultivation techniques are kept as close to nature as possible. Date palm trees can live as long as a century and produce up to 150 kilograms of fruit each year.
Every date palm is watered from the naturally occurring desert of the region, transforming the landscape into a fertile reserve. Our strategically placed irrigation system is channeled across the farm to enable farmers to recycle and preserve the readily available water of the land.
Greenmile groves produce massive quantity of organic waste per year, all of which is returned to the farm as nutrient-rich compost. We take great pride in our overarching organic ethos and continue to innovate, using unique sustainable methods for abundant yields.
Branches of our date palms are regularly thinned, even if it means cutting away 50 percent of the fruit. The thinning process ensures optimum air circulation and space, so the remaining fruits grow to their best potential. As they begin to ripen, maturing dates are enveloped in well-ventilated cloth to deter birds and insects, which also helps avoid the use of pesticides
