Sugar is more than a sweetener, it’s an essential ingredient that shapes global food, beverage, and confectionery industries.

In Iran, sugar production has evolved into a modern, diversified sector that supplies premium-quality granulated, powdered, and cubed sugars for both domestic use and international export.

At Tamila Agrifood, we source, process, and export the finest Iranian sugar types, each tailored to specific industrial needs and market demands across the EU, Middle East, and Africa.

1. Overview of Iran’s Sugar Industry

Iran is one of the most established sugar producers in the Middle East, relying on both sugar beet and sugarcane cultivation.

With a network of advanced refineries across provinces like Khuzestan, Khorasan, and Fars, Iranian sugar is recognized for its high purity, fine texture, and consistent taste.

The country’s sugar output serves multiple sectors, from retail packaging to industrial buyers in bakery, confectionery, dairy, and beverage industries.

2. Granulated Sugar; The Industry Standard

Granulated sugar is the most common and widely traded type of Iranian sugar.

It’s produced through the crystallization of refined syrup, creating uniform, free-flowing white crystals ideal for everyday use and industrial processing.

Applications:

•    Soft drinks and beverages

•    Baked goods and confectionery

•    Food processing industries

•    Household retail packaging

Export Specifications:

•    Purity: 99.8% min sucrose

•    Moisture content: ≤ 0.05%

•    Color (ICUMSA): 45–100 depending on grade

•    Available pack sizes: 25kg, 50kg, and jumbo bags

Because of its stable texture and long shelf life, granulated sugar is the top choice for bulk importers and long-term contracts.

3. Powdered Sugar; The Baker’s Secret Ingredient

Also known as icing sugar or confectioners’ sugar, powdered sugar is created by finely grinding granulated sugar and adding a small amount of anti-caking agent (usually starch).

It is widely used for desserts, frosting, candy coating, and beverage powders.

Iranian powdered sugar is valued for its ultra-fine texture, bright whiteness, and low moisture content, which make it ideal for the food industry.

Applications:

•    Pastry and bakery production

•    Instant drink mixes

•    Decorative food toppings

•    Dairy-based desserts

Export Advantage:

Due to its fine quality and purity, Iranian powdered sugar enjoys growing demand in GCC countries, North Africa, and Southeast Asia.

4. Cubed Sugar; Tradition Meets Modern Elegance

Iran is famous for its cubed sugar, known locally as Ghand, an iconic product enjoyed with tea in every Iranian household.

These sugar cubes are compressed, pure sugar crystals, sometimes infused with subtle flavors like saffron or rosewater for premium export versions.

Applications:

•    Tea and coffee service in hotels, cafés, and restaurants

•    Hospitality and airline catering

•    Retail gift packaging and traditional export markets

Export Specifications:

•    Cube sizes: 1.5–2 cm

•    Packaging: 500g to 1kg retail boxes, or 10–25kg bulk cartons

•    Optional branding & private labeling available

Iranian cube sugar combines cultural authenticity with commercial potential, making it highly sought-after in the Middle East and diaspora markets.
