MOQ: 20 metric tons per shipment

Freshness, Consistency & Processing Strength — Why Our Tomatoes Stand Out
Esmaili Trade supplies export-grade tomatoes grown in the fertile plains and controlled farms of Fars Province. Our tomatoes combine excellent eating quality with strong processing properties — making them ideal for fresh market, salads, and industrial uses such as paste, puree and canning. We work with family farms and modern pack-houses to deliver consistent size, color, and sugar/acidity profiles tailored to your end use.
Varieties & End-Uses
- Round / Salad Tomatoes: Bright, firm, and flavorful — ideal for fresh retail and supermarkets.
- Roma / Plum (Processing) Tomatoes: Denser flesh and higher solids — suited for paste, puree, and sauces.
- Cherry & Cocktail Tomatoes: Small, sweet, attractive for premium retail and foodservice.
- Beefsteak / Cluster: Large, meaty fruit for premium fresh markets and slicing.
Tell us your end use (fresh sale vs. processing) and we’ll recommend the right variety and lab test results.
Harvest Windows & Seasonality
- Main harvests: Spring through late autumn — exact months vary by farm altitude and irrigation schedules.
- Staggered supply: Through partnerships across Fars, we stagger plantings to maintain steady availability and reduce supply gaps.
- Lead time: Typical lead time is 2–6 weeks depending on variety, season, and container availability.
