Theoretical Review of the Effect of Covid-19 Pandemic on Global Market of Palestinian Medjool Dates
Main Article Content
Abstract
This theoretical investigation addresses the intricate interplay between the Covid-19 pandemic and the global market for Palestinian Medjool dates. By synthesizing health and wellness theory with global trade theory, the study examines the multi-layered effects that reshaped market dynamics and consumer behavior. Health and wellness theory illuminate the paradigm shift in consumer preferences triggered by increased health consciousness and driving Medjool dates as a symbol of nutritional wellness. Global trade theory deciphers the complex trade disruptions and regulatory changes triggered by the pandemic that created new challenges and opportunities for market access. Synthesizing these theories underscores the profound transformation of the Medjool date market—an interplay of health aspirations, trade complexities, and cultural influences. This report offers insights that enable stakeholders to navigate the evolving landscape with strategies that capitalize on growing health-conscious trends while adapting to the ever-changing dynamics of global trade. The findings shed light on the market's post-pandemic resilience and growth trajectory that is shaping the evolution of Medjool dates in the global arena.
