As Kenyan culinary tastes expand and diversify, restaurants, importers, and gourmet food retailers are exploring international flavors like never before. One of the rising stars in healthy and premium condiments is Iranian pomegranate molasses — a natural, tangy-sweet syrup made from pure pomegranate juice.

If you are a Kenyan wholesaler, distributor, or importer interested in sourcing pomegranate molasses in bulk from Iran, this guide from Tamila Agrifood will give you all the insight you need: from current wholesale prices to import steps, tariffs, and market trends in Kenya.

Why Kenya Is a Promising Market for Pomegranate Molasses?

Kenya’s food sector is booming — particularly in urban centers like Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu — where demand for natural, halal, and gourmet food products is surging. Iranian pomegranate molasses is perfect for:

•    Salad dressings and marinades

•    Fusion and Middle Eastern recipes

•    High-end retail stores and supermarkets

•    Halal food stores and restaurants

•    Beverage and syrup manufacturers

This makes Kenya one of the most promising African markets for this unique Persian product.

How to Import Pomegranate Molasses into Kenya?

Step 1: Choose a Certified Exporter

Work with trusted Iranian producers like Tamila Agrifood who provide:

•    Health certificates

•    Halal certification

•    ISO / HACCP documentation

•    Custom labeling in English or Swahili

•    Bulk and retail-friendly packaging

Step 2: Comply with KEBS and KRA Regulations

The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) oversees food imports. You’ll need to ensure:

•    Product complies with KS 05-40 (standards for syrups/condiments)

•    Labeling in English with clear nutritional info

•    Shelf-life and batch numbers

•    Halal logo (optional but recommended)

If needed, pre-shipment inspection can be arranged via KEBS-accredited agencies.

Step 3: Clear Your Shipment at Port (e.g., Mombasa)

At port, your clearing agent will help with:

Requirement Details

Import Declaration Form    Filed via Kentrade system

Customs Duty     Estimated at 25% + VAT (16%) on CIF value
