Persian Coast.
In the districts adjoining Bushehr Town, particularly on the Bushehr Date produc-
Peninsula and in Dashtistan and Dashti, dates do not as a rule ripen ticm and the
well; there are about 50 varieties, among which the Halawi and date trade in
Khadhrawi—as at Basrah—are considered the best, but the only ^ o ® ^ ersian
kind exported is that known as the Qasb Zahidi which is districts,
packed in baskets and exported to India to the amount of 10,000 or
15^000 baskets a year. Owing to oppression by the Khans of districts,
many of the date cultivators in the Bushehr neighbourhood have
lately emigrated to Fao, Qasbeh on ' Abbadan Island, Bahrain, etc.
In the Shibkuh and Lingeh districts there are about 40 different
sorts of dates, the best being the Qantar, Barhi Khalas,
w
ere correspl Khadhrawi, Shahuni Khanaizi, Khassab Murdasang
nthis jear,! and Halao ; the "palms of the Lingeh district are about 180,000
reNo. 1, aw trees. All the kinds of dates in these districts, with the exception of those
•Indian saili just specified and of two other kinds known as M asli and Zamardi
occur in small quantities and are consumed fresh; but the
, but still ak ^ as li and Zamardi, which are very abundant, are exported. Of these
id ie fruit J ^ dark in colour^ and, though smaller than the Zamardi,
cwts, Inii more expensive ; the Zamardi is yellowish and does not keep so well,
ported in M ^ or dinary local price of a basket of Masli dates weighing 8
| Lingeh Mans or about 72 lbs. is Es. 2, and that of a similar basket
of Zamardi from Es. 1-8-0 to Es. 1-10-0 ; but these are liable to
fluctuation. Some 5,000 to 6,000 baskets of Maslis and Zamardi«,
according to rainfall, are available at the port of Lingeh every year.
The dates grown at a distance inland are said to be sup erior to those
of the seacoast.
At Bandar ■'Abbas and in the Shamil and Minab districts the best
are the Halili and Murdasang, which are also among the
fliost abundant. The Zfarig , a fairly good date, is common to all
three places, and the Suhrdang also of moderate quality, to the
first two. The Khanaizi (from Bahrain) and the Zahrai both
a tes of a good class, are found at Bandar ''Abbas and also in Minab.
he numbers of different varieties of dates found at Bandar ■'Abbas
and in Shamil and Minab are estimated at 16,18 and 16 respectively,
those already mentioned above; a proportion, especially in
' inab, belong to stocks imported from abroad, especially from ^Oman,
™n and Basrah.
