ABOUT
Dhafria: the story of an oasis land
Our story
Dhafria (الظافرية) connects the farmers of southern Tunisia with the world. Our roots are in Tamerza, in the governorate of Tozeur, where date palms, mountains and desert meet.
We grow and promote dates, above all Deglet Nour, and we show the other life of the farm: alfalfa, sheep and goats, tilapia and bees. Our goal is simple: fresh produce, honest relationships and a living heritage.
What we believe in
Honest origin
You should know where your dates come from: which oasis, which palms, which hands.
Respect for land and water
In the desert every drop counts. We farm with the oasis, not against it.
Direct relationships
From a family box to a container, you talk to the people who do the work.
How we work
1 · Harvest
Bunches are cut by hand when the fruit is ready, in autumn.
2 · Selection
Fruit is sorted by size and quality. Only the best goes into the box.
3 · Packing
Packed fresh, in boxes sized for your needs, from family boxes to bulk.
4 · Shipping
We help with paperwork and transport, to Europe, the Middle East, the USA and Asia.
