Why Should We Buy Organic Barberries?
Science and medicine have provided unparalleled services to human society.
The average age of human life up to a century ago did not exceed 30 years. This knowledge has been so influential in all aspects of life, especially health, that there are now fewer countries where life expectancy has not been at least 70 years.
This issue has been worthwhile in other scientific aspects as well.
Of course, all good aspects of science and knowledge may have some minor side effects. For example, it is true that pesticides improve the health of orchards and fruit trees, make crops more fertile, and fewer pests, but the penetration of these chemicals in fruits and other foods is inevitable.
What Barberries Are Organic?
According to USDA standards, when a product is organic, it must not have the following:
- Growth hormones
- Genetic engineering
- Antibiotics
- Artificial ingredients
- Not exposed to radiation (Irradiation)
- Most synthetic fertilizers and pesticides
- Sewer sludge fertilizer
- Many synthetic additives
Organic barberry production is no exception to this general rule. In fact, an organic Iranian Zereshk Should not contain the above ingredients.
The consumption of organic products and wealth in a country
With the rising standard of living and the well-being and health of the people, people now want to eliminate the same potential harms of using chemical fertilizers and pesticides from their lives and have a healthier life.
Of course, this step is not easy. Fertilizers and pesticides are low-price and are available everywhere in every country.
But if we want to produce fruit or products that are healthy without the use of these chemicals they will naturally be expensive. That’s why you see these organic barberries and other products more in affluent countries.
Does non-organic mean unhealthy?
As mentioned above, being organic does not mean that it is completely healthy, or non-organic does not mean completely unhealthy products.
It is only one step higher, and those who care more about their health have turned to it.
That is why in prosperous countries of Europe and North America, the use of organic products is more. Those who produce organic berberis Vulgaris fruit can look at these countries as target markets.
Production of Organic Berberis Vulgaris in Iran
South Khorasan province of Iran is the main production center of red barberries. Of course, not all barberries that are producing in this province are in the category of organic barberry production. Like all other agricultural products, a farmer must be determined to grow fruits without the use of fertilizers, growth hormones, or pesticides.
Sometimes it takes courage to produce organic barberries. Because organic products usually do not have the beauty and appearance of non-organic fruits. Buyers may not want to buy it while they are more beneficial for health.
But there are Iranian Zereshk orchards that only produce organic barberries and meet the needs of those customers who are in favor of organic Berberis Vulgaris fruit.
In fact. There are always buyers for organic products because the production amount is really lower than its demand.

Problems with the return of money, insurance, transportation, and sanctions on shipping are always occupying the minds of exporters and kept them away from the main business, which is exports. With all the problems, the exporters are trying their best to find a solution.
