Korjan Dates
Our Orchard
Cultivating Premium Dates Since 2022
Korjan Dates is Somaliland’s pioneering large-scale organic date palm initiative, established to show that premium dates can be grown successfully in the country’s desert climate while creating jobs, building skills, and strengthening long-term agricultural resilience.
Since 2022, around 5,000 tissue-culture palms sourced from leading UAE laboratories have been established across our main farm in Ceel Daraad and a second site near Burao. By combining elite planting material with solar-backed systems, wells, pipelines, and precision drip irrigation, we are building a modern, climate-smart model for date farming in Somaliland.
Our main farm is located in Ceel Daraad, about 75 km east of Berbera, along one of Somaliland’s most beautiful beaches. This distinctive coastal desert environment offers hot, dry conditions that are well suited to date palm cultivation, while regulated irrigation supports healthy growth and efficient water use.
Our Story
Proudly Grown Locally
Our story began with a simple but ambitious belief: that Somaliland can grow world-class dates. Today, that belief continues to guide everything we do, from the way we care for each palm to the way we invest in local knowledge, local jobs, and a greener future for our communities.
Korjan Dates is more than a farm. It is a demonstration of what is possible when innovation, sustainability, and local ambition come together. We are proud to be helping shape a more resilient agricultural future for Somaliland—one rooted in quality, opportunity, and the long-term promise of the land.
