Exporting Mazandaran Citrus to Kazakhstan: From Orchard to Destination with Quality Assurance

At Zaghmarz, we prepare fresh Mazandaran citrus for the Kazakhstan market by eliminating intermediaries and focusing on a precise cold chain. Transparency in sorting and full traceability are our priorities in business partnerships.

Exporting citrus to distant markets like Kazakhstan requires an approach that preserves the health and freshness of the product throughout the journey. At Zaghmarz, as producers, we source all products from our own orchards and those of our immediate relatives in Mazandaran. This direct supply, without intermediaries, ensures that quality control from harvesting to sorting remains entirely in our hands. You can find more details about our approach to supplying this market on our Exporting Citrus to Kazakhstan page.

Precise Sorting and Specialized Calibration

Preparation is carried out at our dedicated sorting facility using our own equipment. At this stage, sorting is performed based on caliber (the weight of each fruit in grams) to ensure a uniform shipment that meets the standards of your destination market. To meet the specific requirements of export markets, options such as leaf-on supply, the use of edible wax to increase shelf life for long routes, and professional degreening for early-season products are available. The type of product preparation is determined based on the quarantine regulations of the destination country and the final agreement with the buyer prior to loading.

The Importance of the Cold Chain for Long Routes

To maintain fruit quality on export routes, rapid post-harvest cooling and maintaining the cold chain during transport are our top priorities. Many exporters overlook this stage, but we believe that proper cooling is the guarantee for delivering fruit with the same quality as it had at the time of loading. Regarding transport details, please note that the route, timing, and shipping costs vary depending on the final destination and the specifics of each order; for precise information in this regard, our sales team is ready to assist you.

Transparency and Shipment Traceability

Trust in trade is built on transparency. All our shipments are sent with a dedicated tracking code (ZF), which is printed on the packaging and the invoice. This code allows for precise tracking of the product back to the specific orchard and the day of harvest. Additionally, buyers can visit our facility personally or through their representative to oversee the sorting and packaging process. This facility, with an overall export capacity of 300 to 1,000 tonnes per month, is prepared to cooperate in meeting your bulk requirements.
