In today’s world, the global food trade has gained significant importance. Among these products, pistachios, as a valuable nut with a unique flavor and numerous properties, hold a special place in the global market. Pistachio orchards, especially those managed by the Ghazaal Arvand Company, play a crucial role in this trade. Ghazaal Arvand Company, as one of the leading exporters of agricultural products and foodstuffs, supplies the highest quality export-grade pistachios from the best pistachio orchards in Iran for export to countries like China, the United Arab Emirates, India, and the European Union.

The export process for Iranian pistachios involves various stages that must be carried out meticulously and systematically to ensure the high-quality product reaches foreign customers on time. First, the pistachios must be carefully harvested from the orchards during the harvest season (late summer and early autumn) and immediately transferred to processing centers. There, hulling (removing the soft, fresh outer skin) and drying operations are performed to preserve the kernel quality and the color of the bony shell.

Next, the dried pistachios are transferred to packaging centers, where sorting operations (separating split, closed-mouth, and grading by size) and final packaging operations are carried out according to the standards required by the target market. Pistachio packaging can include polypropylene bags (gunny sacks), vacuum cartons, tin cans, or nylon bags, which are chosen based on the type and volume of export, as well as the preferences of the target market.

In the next stage, the export-grade pistachios, complying with regulations and standards related to quarantine and phytosanitary health (especially the strict aflatoxin standards), are transferred to customs. The clearance procedures and the issuance of necessary documents for export are then completed. Finally, the export-grade pistachios are shipped to their destination in foreign countries via sea, air, or land transport.

This complex process requires high precision, adherence to standards, meticulous planning, and coordination between various sectors, including farmers, processing centers, laboratories, customs, transport companies, and export companies (like Ghazaal Arvand). This ensures that the export-grade pistachio reaches foreign customers with high quality, at the right time, and in accordance with global standards.
