From Bandar Lengeh to the World:
How Southern Iran’s Seafood Is Packaged and Exported to Global Markets
Introduction: The Rise of Southern Iran’s Seafood Trade
Southern Iran, with its expansive coastline along the Persian Gulf, has become a key player in the region’s seafood export economy. In particular, ports such as Bandar Lengeh, Jask, and Bushehr handle thousands of tons of fish each season — supplying high-demand seafood to buyers across Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.
As a result, this growth reflects not just volume, but a rising commitment to quality, traceability, and global standards — values increasingly required by international seafood markets
A Range of Seafood Exported from the Region
Southern Iran’s waters support a diverse catch, including:
Croaker and Spanish Mackerel
Grouper and Kingfish
Ribbon Fish (Yāl Asbī)
Cuttlefish, squid, and shrimp (seasonal)
Consequently, this diversity allows exporters to tailor supply according to buyer needs, market trends, and seasonal demand.
Modern Packaging and Cold Chain Compliance
To meet international standards, Iran’s seafood exporters are investing in better post-harvest handling, with a focus on:
✅ Insulated Packaging
Exported seafood is stored in polystyrene or foil-lined cartons with ice packs or dry ice, preserving temperature through long transits.
✅ Vacuum and Bulk Sealing
Depending on destination, seafood is either vacuum-packed in small retail units or bulk layered for wholesale in lined boxes.
✅ Multilingual Labeling & QR Traceability
Cartons include batch ID, catch zone, net weight, processing date, and export license number — with optional QR codes for supply chain traceability.
✅ Sanitation & Export Documentation
All processing facilities are registered and monitored under Iran Veterinary Organization (IVO) supervision and comply with HACCP and Asia-Pacific import rules.
Meeting the Demands of Global Markets
Export buyers expect more than just fresh fish. They require reliability, consistency, and transparency.
To meet these needs, Iranian seafood exporters provide:
Pre-shipment inspections
Third-party lab reports (when requested)
Shipping documents with invoice, health cert, and origin papers
Cold-chain verified logistics, coordinated from port to destination
Furthermore, many exporters are aligning with port-specific regulations and adapting logistics to better serve international supply chains.
