Malayer customs clears 10–18 kt of raisins yearly with USD 24–35M official FX; large volumes also transit via Mehran and Caspian gates. FX repatriation rules, aflatoxin risk from ground drying and Malayer aquifer stress weigh on margins.
Turkey re-processes Malayer Sultana for re-export to Europe; plants such as Pak Tak and Nabavi meet EU MRL and SO₂ caps for Germany and Italy.
