First International Technical Meeting on Date Production - 45 millieme
This stamp commemorates the First International Technical Meeting on Date Production and Processing (also known as the 1st International Dates Conference), which took place in Tripoli from December 5 to 11, 1959. Organized under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, the international summit brought together scientists, agronomists, and trade experts from date-producing nations across North Africa, the Middle East, and the United States to address critical challenges in palm cultivation and harvesting practices. The conference marked a major milestone in global agricultural technical cooperation, formulating guidelines on date palm research, crop protection, pest control, and industrial processing standards. For the United Kingdom of Libya, hosting this specialized FAO assembly highlighted the country's commitment to modernizing its agricultural sector—a vital pillar of the national economy prior to major commercial oil exploitation. The event established a lasting framework for international knowledge exchange in date palm farming and underscored Libya's growing role within United Nations technical initiatives.
