When it comes to premium dried fruits, Iranian dried figs are among the most sought-after items in the global food industry. With increasing demand from supermarkets, wholesalers, bakeries, and even government supply chains, importers often ask practical questions before making bulk purchases.

To help buyers, distributors, and government procurement agencies, we’ve compiled this FAQ guide that answers the most common questions about importing Iranian dried figs in bulk.

1. Why are Iranian dried figs popular in global markets?

Iran is one of the world’s leading producers of high-quality dried figs, especially known for its naturally sun-dried open-mouth figs. These figs stand out because:

•    They’re 100% natural – no added sugar or preservatives.

•    They offer high nutritional value, rich in fiber, calcium, and antioxidants.

•    They have a long shelf life, making them suitable for international shipping.

•    They cater to different market segments with open-mouth, closed-mouth, pressed, and organic varieties.

2. What types of dried figs are available for export?

Iranian dried figs are classified into:

•    Open-Mouth Dried Figs – Premium grade, naturally cracked and sweet.

•    Closed-Mouth Dried Figs – More economical, used in mass consumption.

•    Pressed Dried Figs – Compact, ideal for industrial use.

•    Organic Certified Dried Figs – Perfect for health-conscious and EU markets.

This variety ensures flexibility for both high-end retail markets and industrial applications like energy bars, jams, and bakery products.

3. What certifications are required for importing Iranian dried figs?

To meet international food safety and compliance regulations, exporters usually provide:

•    ISO 22000 – Food safety management.

•    HACCP – Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points.

•    Halal Certification – Essential for Middle Eastern buyers.

Working with certified suppliers ensures smooth customs clearance and easier entry into regulated markets.

4. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesale buyers?

MOQ often depends on the buyer’s market and packaging needs. On average:

•    10–20 metric tons is the starting point for wholesale bulk orders.

•    Smaller trial orders may be available for new buyers.

•    Bulk cartons (10–12.5 kg) or custom retail packaging can be arranged.

The larger the order, the better the pricing per kilogram, making bulk imports more cost-efficient.
