In Saudi Arabia’s growing fresh produce market, pomegranates have carved out a valuable niche. Known for their rich antioxidants, refreshing taste, and religious-cultural significance, pomegranates are now in high demand across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Mecca.

As one of the world’s largest producers of pomegranates, Iran is a key supplier for Saudi importers looking to source high-quality fruits in large quantities. Whether you’re a distributor, supermarket chain, hotel group, or juice manufacturer in KSA, importing Iranian pomegranates can give you a competitive edge.

This guide outlines how to buy Iranian pomegranates in bulk for the Saudi market, with updated information on wholesale pricing, import procedures, and Saudi customs tariffs.

Why Iranian Pomegranates Are in High Demand in Saudi Arabia?

Pomegranates are more than just a fruit in Saudi Arabia—they are part of traditional diets, health-conscious trends, and even religious events. Iranian pomegranates stand out in the GCC market because of their:

•    Deep red color and juicy arils

•    Naturally sweet taste balanced with tartness

•    High shelf life, even in warm climates

•    Organic, chemical-free farming practices in Iran

•    Variety of cultivars (Malas Saveh, Rabab Neyriz, and Black pomegranate)

These features make them ideal for wholesale distribution, premium grocery retail, juice extraction, and Ramadan season promotions in Saudi Arabia.
