Exporting Iranian pinto beans is not just about producing a high-quality product, it’s about ensuring that every shipment arrives on time, intact, and compliant with global trade standards.

At Tamila Agrifood, logistics is the backbone of our export operations. We’ve built a reliable system that connects Iran’s fertile farmlands with ports and distribution hubs across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

This article explains how our logistics and shipping model helps importers gain full confidence in each delivery, from loading to final port clearance.

1. The Importance of Efficient Logistics in Agricultural Exports

In the world of agri-trade, efficiency equals profit. Even the best-quality beans lose their value if delayed or damaged in transit.

That’s why Tamila Agrifood invests heavily in logistics management, ensuring that every ton of Iranian pinto beans moves through a smooth, traceable, and temperature-controlled supply chain.

Our logistics approach focuses on:

•    End-to-end visibility for importers

•    Standardized loading & documentation

•    Optimized route planning to reduce costs and transit time

•    Compliance with international shipping and food safety regulations

We treat logistics not as a cost, but as a competitive advantage for our partners.

2. Sourcing and Preparation Before Shipping

Before a single bag leaves our facility, each batch of pinto beans goes through a rigorous pre-export process:

1.   Cleaning & Grading: Beans are sorted, polished, and tested for moisture, uniformity, and foreign matter.

2.   Packaging: Bulk bags (25 kg, 50 kg, or 1000 kg jumbo bags) are heat-sealed and labeled for traceability.

3.   Quality Documentation: Every shipment includes COA (Certificate of Analysis), Phytosanitary Certificate, and Quality Report issued by certified laboratories.

4.   Palletization & Container Loading: Goods are stacked on export-grade wooden pallets, secured with shrink wrap, and loaded into 20-ft or 40-ft containers under supervision.

This meticulous preparation ensures durability during long-haul ocean shipping and smooth customs clearance at the destination.

3. Main Export Routes & Shipping Hubs from Iran

Tamila Agrifood exports Iranian pinto beans through several strategic ports to cover different regions efficiently:

•    Bandar Abbas Port: Main hub for shipments to Europe, Africa, and Asia

•    Imam Khomeini Port (Khorramshahr): Ideal for Gulf and Middle East destinations

•    Chabahar Port: For routes to India and East Africa via the Indian Ocean

From these ports, our logistics partners coordinate sea freight, truck freight, and multimodal shipping options to ensure flexible and cost-effective delivery.

4. Shipping Options for Bulk Iranian Pinto Beans

Depending on the importer’s location and delivery terms, Tamila Agrifood offers several shipping solutions:

A. Full Container Load (FCL):

•    Best for bulk buyers (24–27 MT per 20-ft container)

•    Sealed at our warehouse under SGS or BV inspection

•    Ideal for stable pricing and quality control

B. Less than Container Load (LCL):

•    Suited for smaller importers or sample orders

•    Consolidated with other agricultural products (chickpeas, lentils, or kidney beans)

•    Lower upfront costs

C. Air Freight (Express):

•    For urgent or high-value shipments (limited volume)

•    Common for testing new markets or quick replenishments

We coordinate all Incoterms options (EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP) depending on the buyer’s logistical capabilities and insurance requirements.

5. Temperature & Moisture Control During Transit

Beans are sensitive to humidity and temperature fluctuations, especially during long voyages.

That’s why we use ventilated containers and moisture-absorbing desiccants to maintain optimal conditions.

Each container is sealed and monitored until arrival, ensuring:

•    No mold or moisture accumulation

•    Preserved freshness and color

•    Maintained protein quality

This attention to detail is what makes Tamila Agrifood’s shipments stand out in terms of product reliability and shelf-life stability.

6. Documentation & Customs Support

Smooth customs clearance is essential for timely delivery. Our export documentation includes:

•    Commercial Invoice & Packing List

•    Certificate of Origin (Issued by Iran Chamber of Commerce)

•    Phytosanitary Certificate

•    Quality and Weight Inspection Reports

•    Halal & Health Certificates (upon request)

Our logistics team collaborates directly with customs authorities and freight forwarders to ensure all paperwork aligns with EU, Middle Eastern, and African import regulations.

We also provide digital copies of all documents before shipment departure, giving buyers full transparency and control.

7. Delivery Timeframes and Estimated Transit Durations

Destination Region    /   Transit Time (Sea Freight)   /   Mode

Middle East (UAE, Oman, Qatar)    /    7–12 days    /   Sea, Truck

East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania)     /   15–20 days   /   Sea

North Africa (Egypt, Morocco)    /   18–24 days    /    Sea

Europe (Italy, Germany, Netherlands)    /   22–28 days   /   Sea

South Asia (India, Pakistan)    /   10–14 days    /   Sea

These timelines include customs clearance and port handling, subject to weather, port congestion, and seasonal fluctuations.

8. Cost Optimization Strategies for Buyers

We understand how freight costs influence total landed price. That’s why Tamila Agrifood works closely with buyers to:

•    Combine multi-product shipments in shared containers

•    Choose optimal ports of discharge

•    Negotiate long-term freight contracts with top carriers

•    Suggest shipping seasons when rates are lowest

This proactive approach helps importers maintain competitive pricing in their domestic markets while ensuring on-time delivery.

9. Sustainability in Logistics

As part of our long-term vision, Tamila Agrifood is committed to eco-friendly logistics:

•    Using recyclable polypropylene bags

•    Minimizing empty container returns

•    Partnering with shipping lines that implement carbon reduction programs

Sustainable logistics isn’t just good for the planet, it’s also good for business, reducing waste and maintaining brand credibility in environmentally conscious markets.
