Iranian Herbs Suppliers and Exporters

Iran is a rich country in terms of the cultivation of herbs and medicinal plants, and this richness is due to the existence of biological and climatic diversity in Iran, in such a way that our country alone has 11 climates out of 13 climates in the world. Undoubtedly, this climatic diversity has caused the production of various medicinal plants and herbs in the country, and currently, the diversity of these plants reaches more than 8,000 species. The statistics show that the diversity of medicinal plants in Iran is at least twice the diversity of medicinal plants in Europe. More than 2000 species of plants not only have medicinal properties but also have aromatic, cosmetic, and spice aspects. The diversity of Iran's medicinal plants caused many famous pharmaceutical companies in advanced countries to require Iranian herbal medicines as raw materials such as saffron, thyme, savory, and cumin for their production. The existence of medicinal plants in a very high variety and also the dependence of the pharmaceutical companies of the world on these plants caused the trade and export of Iranian medicinal plants to increase day by day and more traders are interested in exporting these products. Iranian medicinal plants are exported from the country in the form of essential oils, extracts, and oils, which include cumin, chamomile, yarrow, black pepper, marshmallow, anise, thyme, asparagus, hyssop, nettle, turmeric, licorice and bitter bayan, turpentine, henna, cumin, lemon balm, chicory flower, lavender, bay leaf, etc. Currently, our country exports these plants to many countries such as Turkey, Russia, UAE, Oman, Japan, Germany, and China.
