Iran: The largest agrofood market in the Middle East

With a population of 90 million, Iran remains the largest agrofood market in the Middle East. The country’s agrofood sector is thriving, with significant growth in food and beverage production, exports, and the import of processing and packaging machinery. Iran is a global leader in producing key crops like apricots, pistachios, and saffron, and its market for agricultural technology is among the fastest-growing in the region.

According to WTO, Iranian food imports made up for US17.2bn in 2022, up 14.7% compared to US$15.0 billion in 2021, while food exports amounted for US$4.8bn compared to US$5.4 billion in 2021. 

Iranian imports of food processing and packaging machinery stood at €141 million in 2022, up 9.7% compared to €129m in 2021, whereas imports of packaging machinery grew by 23.4%, from €54m in 2021 to €67m in 2022. (VDMA)

Iranian imports of agricultural technology have grown by 15.8% annually over the past five years. The Iranian market for agricultural technology thus ranks among the TOP 2 in the Middle East, in line with Saudi Arabia.
