Dried Fruits & Nutes are among Iran’s most valuable agricultural products, holding a prominent position in both domestic consumption and international exports.

Iran’s dry and semi-arid climate is highly suitable for the cultivation and processing of products like dates, pistachios, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, raisins, dried figs, and mulberries. Proper processing, grading, packaging, and storage are essential for maintaining product quality and extending shelf life.

Dried fruits and nuts are high value-added products that generate substantial income for farmers, processing facilities, and exporters. They also support employment across the supply chain.

Iran is one of the world’s leading exporters of pistachios, raisins, and dried figs, with strong demand from European, Asian, Gulf, and North American markets.

Iran’s competitive advantages include favorable climate conditions, naturally high-quality produce, centuries of cultivation expertise, and an experienced workforce. These factors give Iran strong positioning in the global dried fruit and nut market. However, further development in quality standards, packaging technology, and international branding can significantly enhance its global presence and competitiveness.
