Wholesale Iranian dates for Ramadan

Demand for dates in Turkey rises noticeably during Ramadan. We recommend that importers, wholesalers and distributors plan their supply for this period early.

Choosing a variety for the Ramadan season

  • Mazafati

    Soft and fleshy; for direct consumption and retail packs. It needs a cold chain, so shipping and storage should be planned in advance.

  • Piarom

    Semi-dry with a thin skin; suited to premium retail and gift packaging. Keeps well in dry conditions.

  • Rabbi

    Semi-dry and plump; for retail packs and snacking. Its lower moisture gives it a long shelf life in dry conditions.

  • Zahedi

    Dry with firm flesh; easy to ship and store. Suited to snacking and food processing.

We recommend sending your quote requests for Ramadan orders early. Variety, grade, packaging, quantity and delivery terms are confirmed separately for each order.
