Iranian Golden Raisins, also internationally known as Golden Raisins, are a type of seedless raisin made from fresh, sweet, and seedless white or green grapes. These raisins are recognized for their naturally sweet and mild flavor (without any tartness or acidity) and their appealing appearance, often featuring a beautiful golden-amber hue. They are among the most popular dried fruits for export from Iran.

Characteristics of Golden Raisins for Export

Iranian yellow raisins, unlike sun-dried raisins, are produced using an industrial method with sulfur smoke (sulfur dioxide, SO₂). This process helps preserve the golden color of the raisins, shortens the drying time, gives the final product a more uniform appearance, and also extends the shelf life of the raisins.

Thus, all grapes are exposed to sulfur smoke (a process known as sulfur fumigation) before they are prepared for drying. It is this drying process that distinguishes the appearance of the resulting raisins. However, organic golden raisins differ in the sulfur fumigation stage as well.

Next, we will provide explanations about organic raisins and the stages of grape drying.

Organic Golden Raisins

Organic golden raisins are made from grapes grown without the use of chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. During the drying process, industrial sulfur smoke (sulfur dioxide), which is commonly used in the production of conventional golden raisins, is not applied. Instead, a minimal amount of natural, mineral-based sulfur—approved and compliant with organic agricultural standards—may be used.

No additives such as oil, artificial colorants, or glossing agents are added to the raisins, which results in a more natural flavor and appearance.

Modern and Traditional Grape Drying Methods for Golden Raisin Production

After sulfur fumigation, the grapes are prepared for drying. The drying process can be carried out in various ways:

• Sun Drying: This traditional method is the simplest and most cost-effective way to dry grapes. Grapes are spread out on clean surfaces such as tarps or special drying trays and exposed to direct sunlight. Depending on weather conditions, this method can take several days to a few weeks.

• Shade Drying: In this method, grapes are dried in the shade with proper air circulation. Shade drying results in softer, higher-quality raisins, though it generally takes longer than sun drying.

• Mechanical Drying: Modern industrial drying machines significantly speed up the drying process and allow for precise control over temperature and humidity. These methods ensure higher consistency and quality in the final product.

The price of Iranian golden raisins

Iranian golden raisins are recognized as one of the highest-quality and most in-demand types of raisins in global markets. This product holds a particularly prominent position in European, Asian, and Persian Gulf countries. The price of this type of raisin is influenced by several factors, the most important of which are outlined below:

• Product Quality: The final price of golden raisins is directly related to their quality characteristics, such as uniform color, berry size, moisture content, and level of impurities. The higher the quality, the greater its commercial value.
• Order Quantity: Bulk orders often come with discounts offered by the producer or exporter. However, larger quantities may also require specialized packaging and transportation facilities.
• Currency Market Fluctuations: Since golden raisins are primarily produced for export, fluctuations in exchange rates—especially the U.S. dollar—have a direct impact on their export pricing.
• Harvest Season and Annual Production Volume: In years when grape harvests are abundant and of high quality, raisin prices may decrease. Conversely, during droughts or when production declines, price increases are not unexpected.

In the table below, the listed prices are solely related to the cost of the product itself. All additional costs, including transportation, insurance, customs duties, and clearance, are the responsibility of the buyer. Additionally, it is important to note that the prices are calculated on a per-kilogram basis. For more precise information and details regarding the prices, please refer to the table below.

Shipping Methods for Bulk Golden Raisin Orders

For the export of raisins, Banakchi Company offers four main transportation methods based on the destination and order conditions: land, sea, air, and combined. Each of these methods has its own characteristics and advantages, which are outlined below:

1. Land Transport: This method is highly suitable and cost-effective for countries with a land border with Iran. Road transport ensures faster delivery while maintaining product quality. In some cases, sea delivery from neighboring countries may be available, which can help increase security and transport speed.
2. Sea Transport: This method is commonly used for more distant destinations and countries that are accessible by sea. Although the delivery time is longer compared to other methods, sea transport is considered an economical and reliable option for bulk shipments due to its lower cost and high safety.
3. Air Transport: The fastest option for shipping raisins to international markets, particularly recommended for urgent and time-sensitive orders. While the cost is higher than other methods, it guarantees delivery in the shortest time possible while preserving product quality.
4. Combined Method (Sea – Land): This method is suitable for countries with both sea and land access. Products are first shipped by sea to the nearest port and then transported to the final destination by road or rail. This combination strikes a balance between speed and cost and is often considered the most optimized option.
