In the submitting States, the date palm has served as the origin of numerous associated crafts, professions and traditions for centuries. Bearers and practitioners include date palm farm owners, farmers who nurture the plant, craftspeople producing traditional related products, date traders, artists, and performers of associated folkloric tales and poems.
