Premium Iranian Sayer Dates – High Quality, Competitive Pricing, and Global Availability

Sayer Dates, also known by their local names Estameran, Samerun, Sembran, and Samran, stand out as one of the most exported and commercially valuable types. They hold a historical place in Iran’s export industry, being recognized as the first variety of date exported from the country.

These dates are grown extensively in the Khuzestan Province, where over 80% of the region’s date palms are dedicated to Sayer production. The province’s semi-arid climate and fertile soil create ideal growing conditions for producing premium dates with high sugar content and extended shelf life.
