Market, customs & standards
Saraye Omid and surrounding bulk traders set pistachio and almond reference prices; export clearance runs through IKIA and West Tehran customs with EU aflatoxin limits in scope. Corridors pivot toward Eurasia and the Gulf under HS 0802/0813 for nuts and dried fruit.
Nut exporters’ associations and Qarchak’s “Nut City” plan cluster southeast-capital plants; Omid wholesalers bridge FOB contracts to MAP and roasting lines.
Outlook
Qarchak’s specialised park, MAP single-serve packs, flavored kernels and fruit powder/granule lines are the near-term growth levers for export and modern Tehran retail.
Iranco connects you with roasters, exporters and Grand Bazaar wholesalers in Iran’s nut value chain.
