Iran Dried Fruit Market Overview, 2028

One of the most delectable Iranian delicacies, dried fruits also have several health benefits. Due to their nutritional variety, favourable effects on health, and ability to satisfy hunger, dried fruits are among the best options for snacks. Additionally, dried fruits will bring health and a pleasant mood to daily tasks. In addition to having a mouth-watering flavor, dried fruits can be eaten as practical snacks. One can conclude that Iran has a suitable platform for the development of international trade in dried fruits and nuts based on statistics on imports and exports of these goods in Iran and comparisons with other nations. The production and export of nuts and dried fruits play a vital role in the export of Iranian dried fruits. Pistachios, raisins, and dates form the foundation of Iran's dried fruit exports. The majority of the world's nations, including Europe, Australia, Vietnam, the United States, Russia, China, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, Brazil, Canada, Australia, and others, import dried fruits from Iran. Germany is the biggest importer of dried fruit, whereas England is the biggest importer of nuts. Iran is the first country in the world to export pistachios; even if US exports are on the rise, the US is required by law to hold onto 30% of its exports for the upcoming year.

Covid-19 Impacts:
The COVID-19 epidemic increased demand for dried goods since fresh fruits and vegetables were limited in stock in grocery stores and supermarkets due to supply chain and distribution channel disruptions caused by lockdowns. However, the epidemic has increased the demand for freeze-dried vegetables and fruits in the country, which will be used in soups, snacks, bread, dressings, and confectionary food commodities. With increased consumer health consciousness in the COVID-19 scenario, customers were aware of the detrimental consequences of artificial food additives used to preserve food, fueling demand for healthy and natural food products.
