Iran has implemented a total ban on the export of all food products and agricultural raw materials, effective March 3, 2026, until further notice. Authorities reached the decision to prioritize domestic food security in light of ongoing military operations within the country.
The move is expected to have a significant impact on trade partners, particularly Russia. According to data from the Russian Trade Representation in Tehran, this specific category of goods accounts for more than 60% of all Iranian exports to the Russian Federation.
