For US and Canadian buyers sourcing Ajwa dates wholesale, the challenge isn't finding a supplier — it's finding one with consistent premium quality, recognized halal certification, and full documentation that satisfies retail buyer audits and North American import compliance.

Ajwa is among the most culturally significant and premium-priced date varieties in global halal trade. Its near-black color, dense flesh, and distinctive flavor make it the default choice for halal specialty retailers, gifting brands, and Ramadan seasonal programs across North American Muslim communities.

Kartago Dates Wholesale supplies bulk Ajwa dates directly from North African Saharan oases to importers, halal distributors, specialty food retailers, and gifting brands across the United States and Canada — with third-party halal certification, COA per lot, and full FSMA-compliant documentation.

About Ajwa Dates — Characteristics & Market Position

A premium specialty date with deep cultural significance in Islamic tradition — and the most demanded halal SKU in North American specialty food retail.

Ajwa is a distinctively dark date variety with deep cultural and religious significance in Islamic tradition. It is among the most demanded specialty date varieties in North American Muslim communities, particularly during Ramadan and Eid periods, commanding a consistent price premium over mainstream varieties.

Our Ajwa is sourced from select North African oasis regions known for producing high-quality fruit with the near-black color, dense soft flesh, and complex flavor profile that discerning buyers and halal retail customers expect. The variety is characterized by minimal residual stickiness on the skin and a dry, clean finish — making it ideal for gift packaging and premium retail display.

Flavor profile: Rich, earthy sweetness. Dense, slightly dry flesh. Subtle spiced undertone. Minimal residual stickiness. A flavor experience markedly different from mainstream varieties — the reason Ajwa commands a retail premium and strong repeat purchase in halal specialty channels.

Bulk Ajwa Dates — Frequently Asked

What halal certification do your Ajwa dates carry?
Our Ajwa dates are certified halal by a recognized international halal certification body. The certificate is provided with every shipment. If your retail customers or institutional accounts require certification from a specific body (e.g., IFANCA, ISNA, or equivalent), please specify this in your quote request and we will confirm compatibility.
What is the minimum order quantity for Ajwa wholesale?
Trial orders start from 200 kg. Standard wholesale pricing applies from 500 kg. Volume pricing is available from 2 tonnes. For Ramadan seasonal orders, we recommend booking 12–16 weeks in advance to secure your allocation and lock pricing before seasonal demand tightens supply.
How should I plan for Ramadan Ajwa demand?
Ramadan shifts approximately 11 days earlier each year. We recommend placing your Ramadan bulk order 12–16 weeks before the Ramadan start date to allow time for production, export processing, sea freight to North America, and customs clearance. Contact us in Q3 of the preceding year to discuss your allocation and lock pricing before seasonal demand affects supply and pricing.
Do you supply Ajwa in gift packaging formats?
Yes. We offer pre-packed gift box formats suitable for Ramadan and Eid retail. Custom branded gift packaging is available for private label buyers meeting minimum volume requirements. All gift formats include halal certification documentation. See Private Label →
What is the shelf life of bulk Ajwa dates?
Whole Ajwa in sealed cartons stored at 15°C (59°F) has a shelf life of 12–18 months. Refrigerated storage at 4°C (39°F) is recommended for longer-term inventory and extends shelf life to approximately 24 months. This should be factored into your Ramadan planning if you are receiving stock more than a few months in advance.
Do you offer a COA for Ajwa dates?
Yes. A Certificate of Analysis covering Brix, moisture %, microbiological results (total plate count, yeast/mold, Salmonella, E. coli) is provided per lot with every shipment. Additional test parameters are available on request through our lab testing page.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. We ship 200–500 g samples on request for QA evaluation before committing to a bulk order. Note your sample request in your quote form or contact us directly at /contact/. Sample availability may be limited during peak Ramadan planning periods.
