In the world of international trade, the winner is often determined not just by quality, but by the “Cost of Capital.” This is where the Iranian pistachio faces its most unfair battle. In competing nations, such as the United States, exporters have access to financial facilities with interest rates as low as 2% to 3%. This allows them to hold stock, manage long shipping durations, and offer flexible payment terms to buyers without significantly increasing their final price.
In sharp contrast, an Iranian exporter must secure liquidity through local bank loans with staggering interest rates, often exceeding 25% to 30%. By the time a shipment of premium Iranian pistachios reaches the port of Bandar Abbas, its “landed cost” has already skyrocketed—not because of production inefficiency, but because of the massive financial overhead caused by interest.

This means that before the product even leaves the country, it is burdened by a financial weight that our competitors do not carry. These high interest rates act as a hidden tax on Iranian quality, making it difficult to compete on price in global markets. Without access to low-interest trade financing, even the world’s best pistachio struggles to maintain its rightful market share.
