The graph shows the top ten date-producing countries and their annual production in tonnes in 2001. Ten countries in the Gulf region and northern Africa are featured.

First, Egypt took the lion's share of production with over million tones but Iran is a close second with almost 0.9 million. Following them came the UAE and Saudi Arabia, rivaling each other with about 740,000 tonnes each. Pakistan and Iraq, with outputs of approximately 630,000, were not far behind. Algeria supplied the world with nearly 400,000 tonnes and Oman around a quarter of a million. In contrast, harvests in Oman and countries in northern Africa are far less plentiful. Finally, Sudan's and Libya's crops yielded under 0.2 million each.
