The global fruit market demands not only taste and freshness but also strict compliance with quality and safety standards. Iranian kiwi has gained international recognition thanks to its unique flavor, high nutritional value, and competitive pricing. However, the backbone of its success lies in rigorous quality control measures and advanced laboratory testing standards that ensure buyers receive only the best.

At Tamila Agrifood, we prioritize these standards to provide importers and distributors with safe, reliable, and consistently high-quality kiwis.

1. Why Quality Control is Essential in Kiwi Export?

The export journey of Iranian kiwi involves multiple stages: harvesting, grading, storage, packaging, and shipment. At each stage, quality control is applied to:

•    Guarantee freshness and flavor consistency.

•    Prevent contamination or spoilage during transportation.

•    Ensure compliance with international import regulations.

•    Build trust and long-term relationships with buyers.

Without these measures, even the best fruit risks rejection at customs or dissatisfaction among consumers.

2. Grading & Sorting Standards for Iranian Kiwi

Before export, kiwis undergo a grading process that categorizes them based on:

•    Size & Weight: Larger, uniform-sized fruits are preferred for premium markets.

•    Skin Quality: Minimal blemishes, smooth texture, and appealing appearance.

•    Ripeness Level: Fruits are picked at the right maturity to ensure longevity during transport.

•    Firmness & Sweetness: Laboratory testing confirms optimal sugar content (Brix levels).

Grading ensures each shipment matches the buyer’s specific requirements—whether for wholesale bulk buyers or premium retailers.

3. Laboratory Testing for Safety & Compliance

Iranian kiwi exports must meet the strict food safety standards of regions like the EU, Middle East, and Asia. Laboratory testing includes:

•    Pesticide Residue Analysis: Ensures compliance with Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs).

•    Microbiological Testing: Detects bacteria, yeast, and mold to guarantee consumer safety.

•    Nutritional Profile Testing: Confirms vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidant levels.

•    Heavy Metal Testing: Ensures safe levels of lead, cadmium, and arsenic.

These tests guarantee that every shipment is safe for consumption and aligns with ISO, HACCP, and GlobalG.A.P. certifications.

4. Cold-Chain & Storage Quality Control

Temperature control is one of the most critical aspects of kiwi export. To maintain freshness, the cold-chain process involves:

•    Pre-cooling after harvest to slow ripening.

•    Storage at 0–2°C with controlled humidity.

•    Continuous monitoring during transport to prevent spoilage.

This process extends the shelf life of Iranian kiwis, making them ideal for long-distance export to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

5. Packaging Standards for Export Markets

Packaging plays a vital role in quality control. Iranian kiwi is exported using:

•    Corrugated cartons with ventilation holes for airflow.

•    Protective trays to prevent bruising.

•    Customized branding for premium retail markets.

Tamila Agrifood ensures that packaging meets international labeling and traceability requirements, helping buyers maintain transparency with consumers.

6. Certifications & International Recognition

To enter global markets, Iranian kiwi exporters follow international certification frameworks:

•    ISO 22000 – Food safety management.

•    HACCP – Hazard analysis & risk prevention.

•    GlobalG.A.P. – Good agricultural practices certification.

•    Organic Certification – For pesticide-free production.

These certifications enhance buyer confidence and open opportunities in premium markets worldwide.

7. Tamila Agrifood’s Commitment to Excellence

At Tamila Agrifood, we go beyond standard testing:

•    Partnering with accredited laboratories for comprehensive quality analysis.

•    Implementing farm-to-port traceability systems.
