Overview
Most of the food in Iran's market is produced and processed locally. Iran has a wide variety of climates with large farmlands and lots of human resources with a low payment range in comparison with International rates, as a result not only most of the consumed foods are produced locally, but also Iran is an important food exporter. In the first 11 months of the year 2021, Iran exported nearly 6.5 million tons of food products with a total value of nearly 6 billion dollars. The main strategic food items that are imported to the country are related to corn, rice, soy, red meat, grains, and fruits such as bananas and coconut.
Iran has strict regulations for the import of food to assure the safety of the products and also the government imposes bans on the import of several food items to support the local producers.
