The role of packaging in the export of agricultural products

Packaging is an integral component in the export of agricultural products. If the correct and basic packaging is not done, all exported products will be returned. Because packaging prevents food products from spoiling. Also, packaging makes it easier to transport and move, and if the route is long, it will prevent crushing and wastage of agricultural and garden products. Today, there are various types of packaging for the export of agricultural products, which we mention.

The people of Iran have been engaged in agriculture since long ago. Many agricultural products in Iran are world famous and have attracted many buyers. Today, due to the expansion of agricultural land, diverse and high-quality products are produced. Some people believe that agriculture in Iran is a driving force in large and small industries. It should be noted that economic prosperity occurs when the production and cultivation of agricultural products are of high quality and have the necessary strength to compete in the world markets. Fortunately, non-oil products, especially agricultural products, have the necessary quality for export and have attracted many fans. It should be mentioned that not only the products themselves are considered for export, but other industries such as packaging, processing, branding and transportation cause high sales of products.
