China has emerged as one of the world’s largest importers of pistachios, with a steadily growing demand from both consumers and the food industry. From healthy snacks and desserts to luxurious gift packaging, pistachios are a popular and versatile nut in the Chinese market. If you're a wholesaler, distributor, or B2B buyer in China, here’s everything you need to know about buying Iranian pistachios in bulk, understanding wholesale prices, and navigating the import process smoothly.

Why Iranian Pistachios Are in High Demand in China?

Iran is one of the oldest and most reputable pistachio producers in the world. Iranian pistachios are known for:

Chinese importers prefer long pistachios like Ahmad Aghaei for both retail packaging and bulk use in bakeries and gift boxes.
