Let's talk about Medjool Dates!

On December 14, 2020, Revista Foodie, based in Hermosillo, Sonora, issued an article related to the production of the Medjool date fruit and its impact on the economy of the entire 4FrontED Binational Megaregion. 

The 4FrontED Binational Megaregion, which is comprised of Yuma County (Arizona), Imperial County (California), San Luis Rio Colorado (Sonora), and Mexicali (Baja California), includes an area of more than 3,700 hectares dedicated to the cultivation of Medjool.

The date fruit industry generates an economic impact of more than $90 million dollars and it creates thousands of jobs in the binational megaregion, annually.

The article was written in Spanish with some highlights in English: https://bit.ly/3rXAcrD
