Varieties available from Iran
The published Goodarzi Trading range includes Mazafati, Piarom, Zahedi, Rabbi and Kabkab dates from Bam, Khuzestan and Bushehr. These varieties differ in texture and moisture condition, so the intended market and transport plan should be stated in the inquiry.
Mazafati is presented as a soft date and Piarom as a semi-dry date. Buyers should request a lot-specific specification for the chosen variety rather than applying one specification to all dates.
