Additional Practical Notes (highly important for both traders/exporters and international buyers)
-
Quality and Marketability: The key quality factors are the level of scarring and blackening on the foot pad and the absence of bone fractures. High-quality chicken feet (++A grade) are rare in Iran, which is a weakness compared to competitors like Turkey.
-
Storage and Transportation Conditions: Chicken feet are exported frozen, and to maintain quality, the cold chain (chillers, freezing tunnels, and refrigerated containers) must be strictly observed at all stages. Improper freezing temperatures cause the product to turn red or pink.
-
Export Status to China: Although China is a major market, Iran does not have a license for direct exports to this country. As a result, exports are carried out indirectly, mainly through countries like Vietnam, which reduces profitability and foreign currency inflows
