Iran’s Growing Agricultural Exports to Spain
Iran's Agricultural and Food Exports to Spain
Spain is one of Europe's dynamic markets for agricultural and food imports, creating strong opportunities for Iranian producers and exporters. Iran’s diverse agro-food sector — including saffron, dates, nuts, dried fruits, herbs, and processed foods — has high potential in the Spanish market due to product quality, natural cultivation methods, and competitive pricing.
Key Iranian Products Exported to Spain
1. Saffron
Iranian saffron is widely recognized for its richness, color, and aroma. Spain, a major global distributor of saffron, continues to be an important buyer of Iranian saffron both for domestic use and re-export.
2. Pistachios
Iranian pistachios are among the top-sellers in the Spanish market due to their taste, quality, and suitability for confectionery and snack industries.
3. Raisins and Dried Fruits
High-quality Iranian raisins, figs, and dried fruits have growing demand within Spain's food-processing, wholesale, and retail sectors.
4. Dates (Mazafati, Sayer, Zahidi)
The Spanish market imports various Iranian date varieties for retail packaging, bakery use, and distribution in ethnic markets.
5. Herbs and Spices
Aromatic herbs, cumin, black seeds, and spice blends from Iran are also part of the export basket to Spain.
6. Processed Foods
Tomato paste, fruit concentrates, pickles, and ready-to-eat products are showing steady growth in Spanish import statistics.
