The naval blockade of Iran\u2019s southern ports and ongoing import restrictions have pushed the country\u2019s edible oil supply chain into a serious crisis.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>According to Rabiei, most palm oil \u2014 a key ingredient used in confectionery, chocolate, chips, and snack production \u2014 was previously imported through Imam Khomeini Port.<\/p>\n

However, imports are now limited to costly alternative routes via Turkey and overland transportation. He warned that if these conditions persist, food industries heavily dependent on palm oil will face the greatest disruption.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Iran requires around 150,000 tons of crude edible oil per month, nearly 30 percent of which comes from the palm oil family. Rabiei said that continued shortages could force manufacturers to rely on hydrogenation processes to produce solid fats, a move that may significantly increase trans fat levels and pose health risks to consumers. He described the situation as a setback to years of efforts aimed at reducing trans fats in food products.<\/p>\n

Mr. Rabiei also identified the liquidity crunch as the industry\u2019s second major challenge. He explained that currency devaluation and the removal of subsidized exchange rates have sharply increased the cost of importing raw materials and packaging, while significantly weakening companies\u2019 purchasing power.<\/p>\n

Importers are now required to pay the full value of shipments before cargo loading, while delayed government repayments related to foreign exchange subsidies continue to place additional financial pressure on producers and suppliers of essential goods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
