Expanding Iran’s Agricultural and Food Exports to Pakistan

Trade relations between Iran and Pakistan have always been of strategic importance due to their shared borders, cultural similarities, and accessible land and sea routes. Pakistan represents one of the most significant destinations for Iranian agricultural and food exports. With the rapid development of digital technologies and the rise of B2B e-commerce platforms, Iranian producers and exporters now have new opportunities to connect directly with international buyers. In this context, the Abrisham Road International  Platform — recognized as the first international B2B platform in Iran — plays a crucial role in facilitating and expanding agricultural and food exports from Iran to Pakistan.

Iran’s Position in Agricultural and Food Exports

Iran enjoys a diverse climate and fertile agricultural lands that allow it to produce high-quality crops, which are well-received in the Pakistani market. Products such as saffron, pistachios, dates (especially Mazafati), dried fruits, dairy products, and fresh or processed vegetables have become key export items. According to international trade data (COMTRADE, TradingEconomics), Iran’s total exports to Pakistan in recent years have exceeded USD 1 billion, with a substantial share attributed to agricultural and food products.

The Role of the Abrisham Road International  Platform

1. Direct Business Connections between Iran and Pakistan

The Abrisham Road International  Platform provides a secure digital environment that connects Iranian producers and exporters directly with Pakistani importers, wholesalers, and distributors. This direct B2B interaction reduces intermediaries, lowers transaction costs, and increases transparency, leading to faster and more efficient trade operations.

2. Digital Product Showcasing and International Visibility

Through its virtual export exhibition, the platform enables Iranian companies to professionally present their agricultural and food products — including specifications, quality certificates, images, and trade terms (CIF, FOB, EXW). This digital visibility helps Iranian exporters gain the trust of Pakistani buyers and access new distribution channels.

3. Market Insights and Data-Driven Decisions

The Abrisham Road Platform provides real-time trade data, market analytics, and demand trends for Pakistani markets. By analyzing import behavior, seasonal trends, and price movements, exporters can make informed decisions about which products to export and when.

4. Logistics and Customs Support

Given the strategic land borders between Iran and Pakistan — particularly through Mirjaveh–Taftan — the platform offers consultation and assistance for ground transportation, transit logistics, and customs clearance. This integrated service reduces delivery times and export costs, ensuring smoother trade flows.

5. Trust and Security in International Transactions

Building trust is essential in cross-border trade. The Abrisham Road International  Platform employs KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, business credibility checks, and digital trade agreements to ensure that all transactions occur in a safe and transparent environment. This system increases confidence between Iranian exporters and Pakistani buyers, reducing financial and legal risks.
