Iranian Red-Seedless Barberries
Iran is the best producer of seedless barberries in the world. The highest area under cultivation of barberry (red and seedless type) is in South Khorasan province in eastern Iran.

After confirming the moisture content, the product is ready to packaging and sending to the destination city and country.
Bulk Barberry Packaging
There are several ways to pack barberry.
Some barberries production units pour the berries directly into cartons, in which the Kuwaiti health department sometimes causes problems with the product.
Because from a health point of view, direct contact of the product with the carton is not correct.
Some manufacturers put barberry in plastic and then put it in cartons. The disadvantage of this method is that barberry sweats quickly in the sea and other environments with high humidity and then turns black.
Artin Barberry Production Factory was able to solve this need of barberry export customers by inventing the use of perforated cloth bags for air passage for the first time.
By placing barberry in special cloth bags with a certain temperature, barberry will reach its final consumers without any change in color or condition.
