Buyer questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Diced Dates
Where does Raiva Food source Diced Dates?
From growers and processors in Iran. Product is selected at harvest and graded before it reaches the packing line, and sorting and cleaning are done to the grade agreed in your contract. We tell you the growing region for your lot.
What is the minimum order quantity for Diced Dates?
It is confirmed per enquiry rather than published as one figure, because it depends on the packing and the grade you need. Most lines are quoted by the container, and whether that is a 20ft or a 40ft load changes the minimum. Tell us your destination and we will confirm the minimum for this line.
How are Diced Dates packed and shipped?
Packing format is arranged per shipment and restated on the proforma invoice before you pay. Exported from Iran worldwide — by sea from Bandar Abbas and overland through Iran’s land borders. Terms quoted per enquiry. Tell us your preferred trade term in the enquiry and we will confirm what we can offer on that route.
Can I get a sample and a specification sheet for Diced Dates?
Yes. Samples are couriered on request so you can verify quality before committing, and current certification and analysis documents are supplied with your quotation rather than published here — that way you receive the version valid on your shipment date. If your market requires a specific standard, including the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius food standards, tell us at quotation stage: we would rather decline a requirement we cannot meet than agree to it and disappoint you at the port.

How we evidence what is on this page
The photographs on this page are our own, taken of the product we load rather than bought from a stock library. In the specification table above, figures we have confirmed for our own lots are shown plainly, while rows tagged Indicative are published reference values for this commodity rather than measurements of our lots — they are not binding, and we deliberately keep them out of the structured data we publish to search engines. Whichever tier a figure sits in, we confirm it for your specific lot on the proforma invoice, and we will send the current analysis on request.
