Increasing export activities
Rising export activities are significantly fueling the growth of the market in Iran, as the country continues to leverage its strong production base of high-value crops, such as saffron, pistachios, dates, and fruits, which enjoy robust demand. Iran’s reputation as one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of agri-food items has allowed it to access premium international markets, bringing in foreign exchange revenues that stimulate reinvestment into the agricultural sector. Official customs statistics indicated that Iran's agricultural exports reached USD 5.2 Billion in the fiscal year ending March 2024, reflecting a significant 29% rise from 2023. The growing demand for Iranian agricultural goods in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East is encouraging farmers to increase production capacity and adopt better farming practices to meet export standards. Moreover, export-led growth is fostering modernization in packaging to ensure product quality and freshness during long-distance shipments. These activities are also motivating agribusiness companies to diversify product portfolios, such as processed fruits, nuts, and herbal products, enhancing value addition and competitiveness in global markets. Rising exports are further providing opportunities for partnerships with international buyers, creating avenues for knowledge transfer, advanced technology adoption, and improved quality control. By generating higher incomes for farmers and agribusiness firms, export growth is reinforcing Iran’s agribusiness sector as a key pillar of economic development.
Growing demand for dairy products
Rising demand for dairy products is propelling the Iran agribusiness market growth. Milk, yogurt, cheese, and other dairy items remain an essential part of the Iranian diet and hold strong cultural significance. With an increasing population and rising urbanization activities, the demand for fresh, nutritious, and affordable dairy items continues to grow, leading farmers and producers to expand dairy farming operations and adopt modern practices to increase milk yields. Advancements in processing technologies are enabling the production of diverse dairy products, catering to changing user preferences and boosting domestic consumption. Additionally, the broadening of retail networks and supermarkets is improving product availability and accessibility, while rising health consciousness is further catalyzing the demand for protein-rich dairy items. E-commerce expansion is further enabling online sales and home delivery of dairy items.
