To export/import pistachios to the Russian market, you must carefully choose the type of pistachio, its size, and packaging. Because the market for pistachios in Russia is very wide and various products are in demand in this market.

But the largest volume of orders is for low-price pistachios, and first-class pistachios are often available in very low volumes along with other products.

In this article, we try to talk more about the export of mechanical-open pistachios to Russia.

At the harvest time, there are many pistachio nuts that are still closed-mouth and not open. This is because the pistachio kernel has not grown enough to leave the pistachio skin. For this reason, the whole shell is close.

Now one way to use these close pistachios is to make them open mechanically after harvesting. Pistachio produced by this method is called mechanical open pistachio (MO) and is in use for export/import markets.

This type of pistachio is available both raw and salty with a high percentage of salt to CIS countries. Raw packages are often in a 50 kg sack. But salty pistachios are available in 10 kg cartons.

The choice of packaging type, roasting type, and product quality should be exactly according to the needs of the target market. Regarding the choice of pistachio type, you can also receive the necessary information from the free consultation of the sales department of the Artin pistachio production company.

There are different ways to send pistachios from Iran to Russia. One of the main and busiest routes is the Iranian port of Anzali or Astara to the Russian port of Astrakhan. The export cargo goes through the Caspian Sea and its duration is very short.

Another route is by rail through Kazakhstan. If the facilities are available, it will be much more economical to clear the products in Kazakhstan and send them to Russia after customs payment.

Note: Kazakhstan and Russia are Commonwealth countries and goods cleared in each of these countries can be transferred between the two countries without re-customs duty.

The choice of the delivery route and method depends on the volume of the products. This is because wagons have minimum acceptable and affordable quantities for export by rail. Therefore it is not possible to export low-volume cargo from this route.

The price of pistachios depends on various parameters. And on the other hand, fluctuations in the exchange rate of the USD to IRR also affect the pistachios’ price. To receive the price list, you can contact the sales department of Artin Pistachio and Pistachio Kernel Company.
