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.
In our article on the world’s largest raisin exporters and Producers, we have discussed in detail the major countries involved in raisin exports. Here, however, we will briefly mention the top three producers and exporters of raisins:
After conducting product research, you need to find suppliers in your target country.

How are Raisin Containers Loaded?
As mentioned, raisins for export are loaded into 40-feet 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-feet 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-feet 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.
Just a short time ago, a German trader contacted us via email.
He intended to import Iranian raisins into his country and needed suitable import trade consulting.
Tari Trading Group took action and provided its services to this esteemed trader in this regard.
First, we informed him about the types of raisins that German traders predominantly purchase from us.
These raisins were primarily sun-dried raisins and sultana raisins.
Once he understood the suitable raisin types for his country, we highlighted the points related to importing raisins into Germany.
Most German traders seeking to buy Iranian raisins always request that the raisin sulfur content (SO2) be zero, or in other words, sulfur-free. However, the maximum sulfur content allowed is 1000ppm.
Moreover, buyers in his country typically request samples of the product.
Did you know that samples are free at Tari Trading?
We also provided him with many other points related to importing raisins.
After conducting research in his domestic market and verifying our consultants’ statements, he felt confident about purchasing and importing raisins.
He then requested a sample, which we prepared and sent to him free of charge. Over time, these actions led to a contract between us.
Due to the high demand for our consultancy services, we decided to write a comprehensive article about importing nuts and dried fruits from Iran to Germany. This article also covers the import of raisins from Iran to Germany and includes all nut and dried fruit products.
