# Date Farming & Packaging Job
A full date farming production chain with quality tiers and farming zones.
**Date Farming & Packaging Job** (`ace_datepackagingJob`) is a complete production chain. Players harvest dates from palm trees, clean them at cleaning machines, package them at packaging machines, and sell them to an exporter NPC. Packaged dates get a **quality grade** that multiplies the sale price, and **farming zones** control which grades each area can produce.
