To successfully import raisins for your country and business, it’s essential to know the largest raisin producers. Why is it important to be familiar with these major producers? Because the countries that are the largest producers and exporters of raisins generally offer better prices, higher quality, and the advantage of direct purchasing.
Direct purchasing refers to buying directly from the producer rather than through intermediaries. Many raisin suppliers purchase bulk raisins from producing countries and then sell them under their own brand. Therefore, knowing the major raisin-producing and exporting countries is crucial.

How are Raisin Containers Loaded?
As mentioned, raisins for export are loaded into 40-foot containers. These containers can be loaded in Full Container Load (FCL) either with pallets or without pallets.
With Pallets: The raisins are packed in 10 kg net weight boxes and stacked on wooden pallets. Each pallet holds 100 boxes, and a 40-foot container can accommodate 22 wooden pallets, totaling 2,200 boxes of raisins.
Without Pallets: The 10 kg net weight boxes of raisins are directly stacked in the 40-foot container, fitting a total of 2,500 boxes, which is 300 more boxes than with wooden pallets.
For FCL containers with wooden pallets, holding 2,200 boxes of 10 kg each, the net weight is 22,000 kg. With the weight of the pallets and boxes included, the gross weight of these containers is about 24,000 kg.
For FCL containers without pallets, holding 2,500 boxes of 10 kg each, the net weight is 25,000 kg. Including the gross weight, these containers weigh about 27,000 kg.
Once you place your order, the supplier is obligated to insure your goods so that if anything happens during transit or loading, your investment is protected, and you won’t suffer losses.
All-risk insurance, which is also used by Tari Trading Company, covers incidents such as damaged goods, product spoilage, container tears, and more.
In conclusion, successfully importing raisins requires thorough knowledge of the leading producers, careful selection of reliable suppliers, and a clear understanding of the logistics involved. By focusing on direct purchasing from major raisin-exporting countries like Turkey, Iran, and the United States, you can ensure better prices and higher quality products. Understanding the loading methods, container weights, transit times, and the importance of full risk insurance will further safeguard your investment and streamline the import process. Partnering with experienced suppliers, such as Tari Trading Company, can make the entire process more efficient and reliable.
