Iran Date Paste

Historians agree that palm trees were planted in Iran near the ancient Shoosh during the IIami civilization around 6000 years ago.

Palm was present in the southern parts of Iran during the Sassanid era period. The 7th century was an era of agricultural expansion, with various sorts of fruits, trees, and vegetables being grown all throughout Iran, resulting in the transport of fresh and dried fruits from Isfahan to India and Asia Minor, as well as Kerman to other nations.

By the late 1990s, Iran had planted date palms on more than 230 thousand acres of farmland. In the year 2000, Iran exported over one million metric tons of dates to numerous countries, making it the largest global date supplier. The overall amount of data produced in 2012 was 6.505.000 metric tons, with Iran coming in second behind Iraq with 1.066.000 metric tons. After a prolonged latent period, the Iranian Dates harvesting occurs early in the spring.

Piarom, Zahedi, Sayer, Mazafati, Kabkab, Rotab, Rabbi, Kalooteh, and Shahabi are the most prominent types of dates. Rob produces a range of dates, including fresh, tender dates (moisture content of 28-33%), semi-dry dates, dried dates, date paste, date syrups, and commercial dates.

No wonder why Iran is a leading country in date export to all around the world.
