Iran is the largest producer of edible barberry in the world. There are edible red and black barberries in Iran.

Packaging Barberries by Export Quality
Due to the fact that barberry should not be too dry (moisture between 8 to 16%), it should place in special packages.
As you can see in the picture above, fabric packaging is using in Artin barberry production complex. The reasons for this are:
- If barberry places in plastic for a long time and its moisture is high, it will sweat quickly.
This causes the barberry to change color and increase the risk of pests and mold. - If you pour barberries directly into the carton, the probability of pouring barberry from the side of the carton during handling is high. On the other hand, customs and health of some countries, especially in Europe, do not consider direct contact of agricultural products with cartons from a health perspective.
- The type of fabric packaging should not be thick because it prevents air from passing through and increases the possibility of color change. For this reason, a fabric with a suitable thickness should use.
Barberry can transport in autumn and winter similar to other dried fruit products.
But in hot seasons, reefer trucks and containers must use to export barberries to Austria.
Because barberry is sensitive to heat and moisture (and also the environmental humidity).
On the other hand, reefer containers should use in maritime transport (shipping procedure). Where the humidity of the environment is very high.
