Why Iranian Pistachios Stand Out

What international buyers should check before ordering.

Know the main varieties

Akbari, Ahmad Aghaei, Kalleh Ghouchi and Fandoghi differ in shape, size, appearance and price. The correct choice depends on retail presentation, processing use and destination-market expectations.

Define the quality specification

Confirm crop year, size, open-shell percentage, moisture, kernel ratio, defects and packaging. Food-market buyers should agree on aflatoxin and microbiological testing before shipment.

Choose packaging for the journey

Vacuum packs, lined cartons and suitable temperature control help protect freshness during long-distance transport.
