International Dates Council Visits Boudjebel VACPA in Tunisia: Showcasing Tunisian Expertise in Deglet Noor Dates
Boudjebel VACPA was honored to welcome the official delegation of the International Dates Council (INTDC) to its date packing and export facility in Beni Khalled, Nabeul, Tunisia, as part of the international workshop dedicated to the global marketing and promotion of dates.
Held in Tunis on September 30 and October 1, 2026, the international workshop brought together representatives of member countries, experts and private-sector professionals to discuss best practices in date marketing, promotion, export, quality, certification, traceability and international market development.
As part of the program, the official delegation visited Boudjebel VACPA’s industrial facility in Beni Khalled, providing an opportunity to discover first-hand the company’s expertise in Deglet Noor dates, date processing, packing, value-added products and international export.
Boudjebel VACPA: A Tunisian pioneer in date export
For more than four decades, Boudjebel VACPA has built its expertise around one of Tunisia’s most emblematic agricultural products: Deglet Noor dates.
Today, the company is recognized as a leading international Date Exporter and Date Supplier, with more than 18,000 tons of dates shipped annually to 45 countries and a strong network of international customers and partners.
From its operations in Tunisia, Boudjebel serves professional buyers, food manufacturers, retailers and international brands across major markets including Europe, the United States, Asia and other international destinations.
The visit by the International Dates Council therefore provided a valuable opportunity to showcase the scale of Tunisia’s date industry and the know-how developed by a company that has made international market access a core part of its business.
From Tunisian Deglet Noor to global markets
Boudjebel’s expertise extends beyond traditional date packing. The company develops and supplies a broad range of Deglet Noor dates and date-based ingredients adapted to the requirements of the international food industry.
Its portfolio includes whole dates as well as value-added ingredients such as date syrup, date powder and diced dates, serving applications across bakery, bread, confectionery, chocolate, bars and snacks, cereals, granola, muesli, beverages and other food categories.
This combination of agricultural sourcing, industrial processing, quality management and international distribution enables Boudjebel to respond to the increasingly sophisticated requirements of global food manufacturers.
Supporting the development of the international date sector
The International Dates Council’s workshop in Tunisia highlighted the importance of strengthening the global competitiveness of the date sector through better marketing, international cooperation, quality standards, traceability, certification and value creation.
These priorities closely align with Boudjebel VACPA’s approach to the international date business.
As a long-standing Tunisian date manufacturer, supplier and exporter, Boudjebel continues to invest in expertise, product development and international partnerships to make Tunisian Deglet Noor increasingly accessible to food professionals around the world.
The company also develops organic dates and organic date ingredients, responding to the growing demand from international food manufacturers for natural, traceable and clean-label ingredients.
A strategic connection between Tunisia and international markets
The visit of the International Dates Council delegation to Boudjebel VACPA was more than a visit to a packing facility. It was an opportunity to demonstrate how Tunisian expertise, industrial know-how and international market knowledge can contribute to the development of the global date sector.
For Boudjebel, international partnerships remain at the heart of its strategy: connecting growers and production expertise in Tunisia with food manufacturers, brands, distributors and buyers around the world.
From Beni Khalled, Tunisia, to Europe, the United States, Asia and beyond, Boudjebel VACPA continues to build bridges between Tunisian Deglet Noor and the global food industry.
