Fruit export is one of the most popular businesses in Iran. Many neighboring countries and European countries do not have the ability to supply and produce their fruit needs due to various reasons such as infertile soil, heat, long cold, etc. and Iran is one of the valid options for exporting fruit to these countries. In the following, we have described some of these countries and their export conditions.
Fruit export to Iraq
Iraq is located in the west of Iran and has many common borders with us. This country has a dry and infertile climate in more than 80% of the regions. For this reason, it is not able to produce many agricultural products and supplies a very high volume of these products through imports.
Iran is one of the main options for supplying agricultural products of this country due to its neighborhood with Iraq and having common borders. In addition to this, the war-torn and chaotic conditions of Iraq are also one of the main options for importing agricultural products.
Shipping from Iran to Iraq is very easy due to the nearby route, and in addition to the high speed of sending products, it also has lower costs.
The important fruits exported from Iran to Iraq are tomatoes, melons, potatoes, onions, grapes, figs, cantaloupe, apples and oranges.
In general, exporting to Iraq is very profitable and useful for Iran for the following reasons:
Proximity to Iran and short export routes
Lower cost of transportation and faster delivery of products
More currency value of Iraq
Inappropriate climatic conditions and the urgent need to import agricultural products
Non-strict and easier rules for export
Reduction of packaging costs due to Iraq’s low expectation in the type of packaging
One of the best export routes from Iran to Iraq is the Abadan-Basra border, which is 20-30 kilometers long and is very useful for exporters.
Fruit export to Oman
Oman is a country in the southeast of the Persian Gulf. This country has a hot and dry climate, and in some areas it is temperate, and due to the geographical and climatic conditions, it is not possible to grow many fruits. In addition, some of the fruits that are grown in this country do not meet the needs of all the people of this country.
Therefore, Oman has become one of the major export destinations in the Middle East. Oman is considered a rich country and earns most of its income through the sale of oil. This country supplies more than 90% of its necessities through imports, and Iran is one of the largest suppliers of agricultural products in this country.
The only problem with the export of agricultural products to Oman is the land and sea transportation game broker, which greatly changes the final price of the product.
Kiwis, onions, watermelons, dates, etc. are among the types of products that are exported from Iran to Oman.
Exporting fruit from Iran to Oman has many advantages that we have mentioned below:
The method of exporting fruit to Oman is through water borders. Two important ports for this are Chabahar and Bandar Abbas.
Inflation of a country is one of the most important issues in the field of commercial contracts. In general, product price fluctuations have a great impact on the conclusion of commercial contracts. With inflation under three percent and very low volatility, Oman does not have much to worry about for entering into commercial contracts.
Oman does not have strict rules for registering business companies, thus paving the way for individual businesses and also supporting investors by providing loans at very low interest rates, creating more enthusiasm for businessmen.
Fruit export to Kuwait
After Iraq, Kuwait is the closest country to Iran and is located in the southwest of Iran. The communication routes for exports with Kuwait are through water borders. Kuwait is a small country and this country depends on other countries in terms of supplying its agricultural products. Kuwait imports more than 80% of its agricultural products. For this reason, it is a suitable option for export.
Kuwait has strict and high standards for its imports. Therefore, they must have high standard packaging and product conditions. For this reason, exporters are advised to use the tracking thermograph to avoid the problems of corruption, loss and late arrival of the product.
Online thermograph can remotely warn of temperature and humidity changes. The tracker embedded in this device can also determine the location of the device and display departures from designated routes, stops, etc. In addition to this, product labels must be written in Arabic and have all the product processing and production specifications, which include the product name, product manufacturing date, product expiration date, product ingredients, etc. One of Iran’s fierce competitors in this field is Turkey.
A very convenient advantage of exporting fruit to Kuwait is not paying taxes. For this reason, the export restrictions to this country have been reduced to a great extent. Agricultural products exported from Iran to Kuwait include tomatoes, watermelons, cabbage, lettuce, cucumbers, pumpkins, pistachios and dates.
Fruit export to Qatar
Geographically, Qatar is located in the south of Iran and the southern part of the Persian Gulf, and like many countries in the south of the Persian Gulf, it has a dry climate, and in addition, it faces a shortage of water and arable land. For this reason, it has become one of the largest importers of agricultural products.
Iran is one of the countries that export agricultural products to this country. Due to the high quality of Iranian agricultural products, these products have many fans in Qatar. However, Qatar has strict standards for product packaging and health. So close b
