Best Date Supplier In Iran – Import Dates from Iran

Iran is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of dates, with a long history of date cultivation across several growing regions. Aminfarms sources, processes, and exports Iranian dates directly to importers, distributors, retailers, and food manufacturers worldwide. Whether you are importing container loads for retail distribution or sourcing bulk dates for food manufacturing, our team manages the export process from sourcing and quality control to documentation and shipping, giving buyers one accountable supplier rather than a chain of middlemen.

Date Varieties Available for Export

Mazafati Dates

Mazafati is a soft, moist date with dark skin, grown primarily in Kerman province. It is known for its rich, naturally sweet flavor and soft texture. Compared with drier varieties, Mazafati requires more careful storage and transportation conditions. It is particularly popular in retail, premium food, and gift-packaging markets.

Piarom Dates

Piarom is a premium semi-dry Iranian date recognized for its elongated shape, thin skin, and caramel-like flavor. Its distinctive appearance and texture make it suitable for premium retail markets, specialty food stores, and buyers looking for a higher-value Iranian date variety.

Kabkab Dates

Kabkab is a semi-dry Iranian date with a firm texture and naturally sweet flavor. It is used in both retail and food-processing applications, including date paste, syrup, snacks, and other processed food products.

Zahedi Dates

Zahedi is a dry date with a firm texture and relatively strong storage stability. Its durability makes it suitable for bulk export, long-distance transportation, food manufacturing, and markets where extended shelf life is an important purchasing consideration.

Sayer Dates

Sayer is one of Iran’s important commercial export varieties. It is valued by international buyers for its combination of quality, availability, and competitive pricing. Sayer dates are commonly supplied for bulk distribution, retail packaging, and food-processing applications.

Packaging & Grading Options

Available Package Sizes

Aminfarms can supply Iranian dates in packaging formats suited to different types of buyers, from bulk shipments for wholesalers and food manufacturers to retail-ready packaging for distributors and private-label businesses. Available sizes and packaging formats depend on the variety, grade, destination market, and buyer requirements.

Grading Standards

Dates can be graded according to factors such as size, appearance, moisture level, texture, and overall quality. Aminfarms works with buyers to identify the appropriate grade and packaging specification for their intended market and application.

Why Import Dates from Iran

Iran’s diverse date-growing regions and established cultivation experience make the country an important source of dates for international markets. Iranian producers offer a broad range of varieties, from soft and moist Mazafati to semi-dry Piarom and Kabkab and dry varieties such as Zahedi and Sayer.

For importers, this variety makes it possible to source dates for different applications and price segments from a major producing country. Iranian dates can serve retail, wholesale, food-service, and food-manufacturing markets, depending on the variety, grade, and packaging requirements.

Quality, Certifications & Food Safety Standards

Food safety and product consistency are important considerations when importing dates. Aminfarms works with buyers to provide the quality and export documentation required for their destination market.

Available documentation and certifications may vary according to the product, shipment, and destination. Buyers can request relevant export and food-safety documentation, including applicable phytosanitary certificates, health certificates, laboratory test results, and other documents required for customs clearance and market entry.

For specific certification requirements, importers should contact the Aminfarms export team before placing an order so the required documentation can be confirmed for the destination country.
