Iranian Food & Agriculture Exports to France via Abrisham Road
Iranian Agricultural and Food Exports to France
France is one of the largest and most influential markets in the European Union. With its high consumption of premium food products and growing interest in healthy, natural, and exotic foods, it presents a valuable opportunity for Iranian exporters. Iran, known for its diverse climates and rich agricultural heritage, exports products such as pistachios, dates, saffron, dried fruits, and fresh produce to France and the EU every year.
Supporting this process is the Abrisham Road International Trade Platform, Iran’s first and largest B2B export-oriented marketplace, which plays a critical role in connecting Iranian suppliers with French buyers.
Key Iranian Agricultural and Food Products Exported to France
1. Pistachios
One of the most recognized Iranian exports. Iranian pistachios are known for their rich flavor and high oil content, making them highly demanded by French confectionery producers and gourmet stores.
2. Saffron
As the world’s largest saffron producer, Iran supplies high-quality saffron used widely in French cuisine, restaurants, and food processing industries.
3. Dates
Especially Mazafati, Piarom, Zahedi, and Kabkab. These varieties are popular in France among retail shops, Halal markets, and food manufacturers.
Including raisins, figs, apricots, almonds, walnuts, and mixed nuts—popular in both retail and industrial food sectors.
5. Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
Seasonal exports such as pomegranates, apples, grapes, and dried herbs meet increasing demand for natural and exotic produce.
Such as tomato paste, canned goods, herbal teas, spices, and ready-to-use food ingredients.
