A Bright Year for the 2025 Piarom Dates Harvest
AriaFoods proudly announces a strong start to the 2025 Piarom dates harvest season. Recognized globally as one of Iran’s most prestigious date varieties, Piarom, also known as Maryam or “chocolate” dates, continues to represent quality, taste, and value in global markets. This year’s harvest shows clear improvements in both quality and quantity compared to 2024, creating strong opportunities for buyers, importers, and distributors.
What Are Piarom Dates?
Piarom dates rank among the most valuable and premium Iranian varieties. They feature a thin skin, chewy texture, and natural sweetness. As a semi-dry date, Piarom has less moisture than soft types such as Mazafati, which extends its shelf life and improves its export potential.
With their slender shape and dark brown skin, Piarom dates often draw comparisons to Medjool or Mabroom dates. However, many experts consider them superior in flavor and consistency.
Nutritionally, they are rich in fiber, calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants. Their high fructose and low glucose levels make them an excellent natural sweetener and a healthier alternative to refined sugar, especially for people managing diabetes or following a balanced diet.
Where Piarom Dates Grow
Piarom cultivation thrives in southern Iran, particularly in Hajiabad, Hormozgan Province, where unique climatic and geographical conditions nurture this elite variety. The palms grow in mountainous regions and take up to ten years to reach full harvest maturity. This long growth cycle, along with limited cultivation areas, explains why Piarom dates remain exclusive and premium-priced.
The harvest season typically runs from September through November, depending on local weather. The palms tolerate saline soil and need minimal water, making Piarom dates both sustainable and economically vital for regional farmers.
2025 Harvest Update: A Stronger Season
Compared to 2024, the 2025 Piarom harvest brings clear improvements.
Higher Quantity: Farmers report a healthy rise in production, ensuring wider availability for both domestic and export markets.
Superior Quality: Grade 1 dates make up a larger share of this year’s crop, offering better uniformity, color, and texture.
Stronger Market Outlook: The combination of higher volumes and improved quality makes 2025 a high-potential year for sourcing Piarom dates at competitive prices.
These results further strengthen Iran’s global leadership in producing premium-grade Piarom dates.
Storage, Packaging, and Export Benefits
Piarom dates can be stored and shipped without refrigeration, which reduces logistics costs and simplifies international transport. This natural resilience gives the variety a major advantage in global trade.
AriaFoods supplies Piarom dates in bulk cartons and private-label retail packs that range from 250 grams to 5 kilograms. This flexibility supports wholesalers, retailers, and food manufacturers worldwide.
Thanks to their exceptional taste and consistency, Piarom dates compete directly with Medjool dates, often outperforming them in flavor, texture, and price stability.
