The Iranian barberry market has become increasingly attractive to global buyers, from gourmet importers to large-scale food manufacturers. However, when sourcing directly from Iran, understanding the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and bulk pricing structure is essential to plan your logistics, optimize costs, and secure the freshest possible supply.

At Tamila Agrifood Company, we’ve designed a transparent and flexible purchasing framework that accommodates both new importers and long-term distributors. This guide explains everything you need to know about MOQ, pricing tiers, and volume discounts for Iranian barberries in 2025–2026.

1. Understanding MOQ in the Barberry Export Business

In international trade, the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) represents the smallest amount of product a supplier can sell at wholesale rates.

For barberries, MOQ depends on several key factors:

•    The type of barberry (Puffed, Anari, or Black)

•    Processing and packaging requirements

•    Destination country (due to freight costs and customs regulations)

•    Available stock and harvest season

At Tamila Agrifood, we understand that not all importers are the same. Therefore, we provide tiered MOQ options to support both small buyers testing the market and established importers with consistent annual contracts.

2. MOQ Levels for Each Type of Iranian Barberry

Puffed (Pofaki) Barberry – Premium Export Grade

•    MOQ: 2 metric tons (MT)

•    Packaging: 10 kg or 12.5 kg cartons

•    Availability: Year-round (best quality from November to March)

Because Puffed Barberry requires shade drying and delicate handling, the MOQ is slightly higher to ensure efficiency in packaging and export.

Seedless (Anari) Barberry – Bulk & Cost-Effective

•    MOQ: 1 metric ton (MT)

•    Packaging: 25 kg bulk cartons or 10 kg boxes for retail repackaging

•    Availability: All year (fresh stock from October harvest)

Anari Barberry is ideal for large-scale importers, industrial processors, and wholesale distributors due to its affordable price per kilogram.

Black Barberry – Specialty & Medicinal Type

•    MOQ: 500 kg (half a metric ton)

•    Packaging: 5 kg vacuum-sealed or nitrogen-flushed bags

•    Availability: Limited, based on seasonal production

This variety is sold in smaller MOQs due to its niche market demand and limited supply volume.

3. Bulk Pricing Tiers for Iranian Barberries (2025–2026)

Our bulk pricing model is designed to reward higher volumes while keeping costs transparent and predictable.

Product Type MOQ (MT)     1–5 MT Price (USD/MT, FOB)   5–10 MT Price (USD/MT, FOB) 10+ MT Price (USD/MT, FOB)

Puffed (Pofaki)    20 MT $8,300      $7,800      $7,400

Seedless (Anari)  10 MT $6,600      $6,200      $5,400

Black Barberry    5  MT  $8,400      $7,800      $7,450

FOB Bandar Abbas or Chabahar Port.

CIF or DDP quotes (door-to-door) are available upon request depending on destination and import regulations.

4. Price Influencing Factors

While our pricing model is transparent, a few external factors can affect your final quotation:

•    Harvest year quality: Weather and rainfall impact berry size and color.

•    Currency fluctuations: Barberry prices are typically calculated in USD but may shift slightly based on exchange rate movements.

•    Certifications and testing: Organic, HACCP, or ISO-certified shipments require additional quality control steps.

•    Packaging customization: Private labeling, retail pouching, or nitrogen sealing may slightly increase unit costs.

We always provide a detailed Proforma Invoice (PI) outlining every cost component before confirming your order.

5. Framework Agreements for Consistent Buyers

For long-term partners, Tamila Agrifood offers framework agreements that lock in prices for 6 to 12 months.

Advantages include:

Stable pricing despite market fluctuations

Guaranteed supply priority during peak season

Flexible shipment scheduling (monthly or quarterly)

Custom packaging and branding options

These agreements are especially beneficial for importers supplying retail chains, organic stores, or large food manufacturers.

6. Logistics & Packaging Options

To meet different buyer needs, we offer a range of export packaging and freight options:

Packaging Options:

•    Bulk export cartons: 10 kg, 12.5 kg, or 25 kg

•    Retail-ready packs: 250 g – 1 kg pouches

•    Vacuum-sealed bags for long-distance shipping

Shipping Options:

•    FOB: Bandar Abbas, Chabahar, or Imam Khomeini Port

•    CIF / CFR: Delivered to destination port

•    DDP: Door-to-door (available for the EU, GCC, and East Asia)

Each shipment is fumigated, moisture-tested, and accompanied by phytosanitary certificates before export.
