When it comes to importing Iranian soybeans, understanding the balance between MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) and bulk pricing is crucial. Whether you’re a food manufacturer, feed processor, or commodity trader, these two factors determine your cost efficiency, supply chain stability, and profit margins.

At Tamila Agrifood, we specialize in offering flexible bulk supply solutions that match both small-scale distributors and large international buyers—helping you access premium Iranian soybeans at globally competitive prices.

Let’s break down how MOQ and bulk pricing work, and how you can use them strategically to maximize your purchasing advantage.

1. Understanding MOQ in Soybean Trade

The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) represents the smallest volume of soybeans a supplier is willing to sell in one transaction. MOQ helps producers and exporters maintain cost efficiency in harvesting, cleaning, packaging, and logistics.

In the Iranian soybean export market, MOQ typically depends on:

•    Product type (feed-grade, food-grade, or high-protein)

•    Packaging method (bulk in container, jumbo bags, or 50 kg sacks)

•    Destination market and freight route

•    Buyer’s contract type (spot vs. framework agreement)

Typical MOQ Levels at Tamila Agrifood:

•    Feed-Grade Soybeans: 20–24 metric tons (1 full 20-ft container)

•    Food-Grade Soybeans: 24–26 metric tons (1 full 40-ft container)

•    High-Protein Soybeans: 25 metric tons (custom packaging available)

For trial orders, Tamila Agrifood offers sample or pilot shipment options (as low as 10 tons) to help new buyers test product quality before full-scale import.

2. How Bulk Pricing Works?

Bulk pricing refers to the discounted rate per metric ton that applies when purchasing soybeans in larger quantities. The principle is simple—the more you buy, the better the price.

This pricing model benefits both sides:

•    Buyers reduce their unit cost and shipping expenses.

•    Suppliers achieve production and logistics efficiency.

Tamila Agrifood calculates its bulk prices based on:

•    International soybean market index

•    Currency exchange rates (USD/IRR)

•    Seasonal yield and harvest volume

•    Freight and port handling costs

•    Packaging preferences and inspection standards

3. Example of Indicative Bulk Pricing for Iranian Soybeans

Soybean Type   /   MOQ (Metric Tons)   /   Price Range (USD/MT)   /   Packaging Notes

Feed-Grade Soybeans    /   25 MT    /     $1,030 – $1,070   /   Bulk, 50 kg bags   /    Ideal for oil extraction & feed mills

Food-Grade Soybeans    /   25 MT    /   $1,150 – $1,200    /    25 or 50 kg bags     /    Suitable for soy milk, tofu & flour

High-Protein Soybeans     /    25 MT    /    $1,350 – $1,400   /       Custom bags    /    High protein content (up to 50%)

Organic Certified Soybeans    /     24 MT    /    $1,450 – $1,500  /     Vacuum-sealed bags   /   Certified Organic & Non-GMO

Notes:

•    Bulk discounts available for contracts above 250 MT or long-term framework agreements.

•    Prices are indicative and may vary with market conditions, shipping terms, and seasonal supply.

4. Framework Agreements for Regular Buyers

For long-term importers, framework supply agreements offer the most value.

These contracts guarantee:

•    Fixed prices or indexed pricing over multiple shipments

•    Guaranteed supply volume throughout the year

•    Priority in harvest season and port allocation

•    Reduced administrative and customs delays

Tamila Agrifood’s framework contracts are designed for buyers in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia who require consistent, high-quality supply.

5. Freight, Logistics, and Payment Terms

At Tamila Agrifood, we provide a full range of logistics and trade finance options to simplify your soybean imports.

Shipping Terms:

•    FOB (Bandar Abbas / Imam Khomeini Port)

•    CIF or CFR (Global Ports) – including Dubai, Mombasa, Rotterdam, and Port Klang

•    Flexible container loadings (20ft & 40ft)

Payment Terms:

•    T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) – 30% advance, 70% before shipment

•    Letter of Credit (L/C) – for established buyers

•    Deferred payment options – available under contract

All shipments include lab testing certificates, phytosanitary documents, and quality inspection reports.

6. Quality Standards and Documentation

Every batch of Tamila Agrifood’s soybeans undergoes rigorous quality inspection according to international standards:

•    Protein, oil, and moisture analysis

•    Aflatoxin testing

•    Impurity and damage level assessment

•    ISO 22000, HACCP, and Halal certification

This ensures that every metric ton you purchase is consistent, safe, and compliant with destination market regulations.

7. How to Optimize MOQ and Price as a Buyer?

If you’re looking to optimize your purchasing strategy, consider the following steps:

1.   Plan orders seasonally to benefit from harvest-time discounts.

2.   Combine shipments (e.g., feed and food-grade) to reach MOQ more efficiently.

3.   Negotiate framework contracts for predictable pricing.

4.   Leverage CIF shipping for smoother customs clearance.

5.   Collaborate with Tamila Agrifood to manage testing and certification costs.

This approach helps you lower total landed cost while maintaining supply reliability.
