Iran bans fruit and vegetable exports Change Iran banned exports of fruit, vegetables, and nuts, halting shipments that include major exports such as pistachios, sultanas, and dates. Why it matters Importers and processors that relied on Iranian nuts and dried fruit will face immediate supply gaps and must secure alternative sources or adjust contracts. Trade finance, payment channels, and transit arrangements tied to Iranian shipments are now disrupted, increasing logistical friction for European and regional buyers.
