Hadiklaim

🚨 Reasons for Boycotting Hadiklaim

Hadiklaim (official name: israel Date Growers' Cooperative Ltd.) is an israeli agricultural cooperative founded in 1982, headquartered in Tel Aviv. It is the world's largest Medjool date producer and marketing organization. The cooperative consists solely of date growers; however, its members include growers operating in illegal israeli settlements in the occupied Jordan Valley. Hadiklaim controls 65% of israel's total date exports, holding a dominant position in the sector. This demonstrates the company's direct contribution to the occupation economy and its financing of settlement activities.

1. Controls 65% of israel's Date Exports: Hadiklaim accounts for 65% of israel's total date exports. This ratio reveals the cooperative's dominant position in the sector and its strategic importance to the israeli economy. Hadiklaim's exports also include dates produced in occupied territories.GreenMe: Hadiklaim — 65% of israel's date exports (2023)Pikiran Rakyat: Hadiklaim sells 65% of israeli dates (March 2024)
2. Production in Illegal Settlements in the Occupied Jordan Valley: Hadiklaim produces a significant portion of its products in illegal israeli settlements in the occupied Jordan Valley. The cooperative includes growers from "1948 israel" (particularly in the south) as well as growers from settlements in the occupied Jordan Valley. This constitutes direct economic contribution to settlement activities that are illegal under international law. Hadiklaim has admitted that since 2012 it has exported dates from the Jordan Valley labeled as "Produce of Palestine."Corporate Occupation: Hadiklaim — growers from Jordan Valley settlements (2020)GreenMe: Hadiklaim — export labeled "Produce of Palestine" (2023)Jerusalem24: Hadiklaim and Mehadrin export dates produced in settlements to Europe (February 2022)
3. On the BDS Boycott List: Hadiklaim is on the official boycott list of the global BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement. BDS lists Hadiklaim among companies "operating from settlements in the occupied West Bank and profiting from the illegal exploitation of natural resources there." BDS calls for boycotts of Hadiklaim and its brands, especially during Ramadan. In 2012, the Presbyterian Church (USA) became one of the first major institutions to adopt a boycott of Hadiklaim.BDS Movement: Hadiklaim — company operating from settlements (2012)Anadolu Agency: BDS calls for boycott of israeli dates during Ramadan (February 2026)PCUSA: Hadiklaim boycott resolution (2012)
4. Brand Portfolio and Concealment Tactics: Hadiklaim markets its products under various brands: King Solomon (its most well-known brand), Jordan River, MyJool, Jordan Valley, Jordan Plains, Bet Sheva, and Delilah. It also supplies private label dates for some supermarkets. To avoid consumer boycotts, the company uses only "Hadiklaim" or neutral brand names on product packaging instead of the label "israel."Republika: Hadiklaim — King Solomon, Jordan River, MyJool brands (February 2026)Consumidor Global: Hadiklaim — concealing origin with neutral brand names (October 2025)Serhad Haber: Hadiklaim — origin concealed by writing "Hadiklaim" instead of "israel" (February 2026)
5. Ownership Structure and Institutional Shareholders: Hadiklaim is a cooperative owned solely by date growers. It is not a publicly traded company and therefore does not have institutional shareholders such as BlackRock or Vanguard. The cooperative's profits return directly to the growers. There is no broader political or institutional structure behind the cooperative.Olam Business: Hadiklaim — owned only by date growers (July 2026)Boycott Directory: Hadiklaim — cooperative structure (September 2025)
