AMP Relaunches Annual Date Boycott Campaign Dear Email, "It's a crisis the likes of which we have never experienced." Those are the words of an Israeli farmer quoted in a recent Mondoweiss article describing the collapse of Israel's export of agricultural goods amid global boycotts. "Brand Israel" has become too toxic, even for the usual European markets that consume much of Israel's agricultural output. Israel is finally paying the price for genocide. The Mondoweiss piece describes Israeli reports on the collapse of mango and citrus exports and how farmers are pleading with the Israeli government to intervene to save their industries. International boycotts and the closure of access to the Red Sea have decimated Israel's agricultural exports globally, and AMP's annual date boycott seeks to drive the last nail in the coffin.  The Campaign AMP's annual date boycott campaign, which has run for more than 13 years, has decimated Israel's market share in the US date market. What used to be the largest share of imported dates to the US has now diminished to number five or six on the list of imported dates, eclipsed by dates from Mexico, Tunisia, Algeria, Turkiye, and Saudi Arabia. Consumers are well aware of Israel's rebranding techniques and have pushed both retailers and distributors away from Israeli dates. This year, join us to end the import of Israeli dates once and for all. Find more information about the national date boycott on boycottguide.org
Brands We get a lot of questions about brands to boycott. All of the brands we highlight are based on our research team’s meticulous study of the US market. However, because Israeli date companies have been white-labeling products (allowing other brands to stick their name on the dates) to avoid boycotts, there may be more brands we are unaware of. We also often get questions about which dates to buy. Our mantra is that everything is fair game for purchase unless it's explicitly not. Many companies sell dates across the US and globally, and they are great to buy from. Our objective is to make you, the consumer, aware of what not to buy. Take Action You can find all the resources you need to boycott Israeli dates here on our site, including graphics, brand names, social media materials, and more. Play a role in advancing the boycott of Israel through your boycott of Israeli dates. In solidarity,
