The Expected Future for Iranian Chicken Paw Producers and Exporters in the New Calendar Year

Based on recent developments and expert forecasts, a bright and prosperous future is envisioned for Iranian chicken paw producers and exporters in the new calendar year. This positive outlook is indebted to new trade agreements, especially with the vast Chinese market, which could transform the roadmap of this industry.

Below, we analytically assess these unique opportunities, technical requirements, and practical strategies for success in the coming year.

The Golden Horizon: The China Market in Focus

The event that could make 2025 a turning point for Iranian chicken paw exports is the opening of the direct Chinese market. According to official statements from the country’s Veterinary Organization, China has formally requested to directly import chicken paws from Iran. This is significant, as in previous years, exports of this product were conducted indirectly through intermediary countries like Vietnam.

This strategic shift offers two key advantages:

  • Elimination of Intermediaries and Increased Profitability: Removing the third country from the trade cycle brings a higher profit margin for Iranian producers and exporters.

  • Guaranteed Product Quality and Health: Direct shipment allows for better control over storage and transportation conditions, preserving the final product’s quality at the destination.

The quantitative and qualitative capacities of this trade opportunity are summarized in the table below:

Indicator Estimate & Explanation

Annual Export Capacity to China Approximately 50,000 Tons

Foreign Currency Revenue Potential Between $150 to $300 Million per year

End Consumer The large Chinese market in food, cosmetic-hygienic, and pharmaceutical industries

Iran’s Competitive Advantage High production in the cold season and relatively low production costs

Analyzing the Requirements: The Key to Unlocking the Global Market

Achieving this bright prospect depends on adhering to a set of critical requirements, neglect of which could turn this opportunity into a threat.

  • China’s Stringent Health Protocols: The Chinese side specifically emphasizes the provision of the following documents:

  • Approval from the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) confirming the absence of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Iran.

  • Certified documents from the laboratory of the National Diagnostic Center of the Veterinary Organization.

  • Product Quality and Appearance Standards: The exported product must have precise characteristics to be accepted in the Chinese market. These features include no cuts and bruising between the toes, absence of nails, being free from excessive black and gray spots, and being without severe bone fractures.

  • Modern Processing and Packaging Equipment: Using de-skinning machines, shank cutters, and specific washing chillers made of stainless steel is essential to meet quality standards. Final packaging must also be done with professional shrink-wrapping machines and comply with international standards.

An Operational Roadmap for Producers and Exporters

To fully capitalize on this opportunity, stakeholders in this industry should prioritize the following strategies:

  1. Upgrading the Supply and Processing Chain: Investing in equipped production lines and obtaining an IR code (identification code for production units under veterinary supervision) is the first step to obtaining a direct export license. Being on the list of reputable producers with the capacity to supply several thousand tons per month will gain the trust of Chinese buyers.

  2. Forming Export Consortia: Cooperation and alliance between producers and exporters is essential to eliminate intermediaries and increase bargaining power in the global market. This also makes it possible to meet the high-volume demands of the Chinese market.

  3. Transforming Raw Products into High Value-Added Goods: Instead of relying solely on the export of raw chicken paws, investing in their processing for use in pharmaceutical industries (producing cartilage-building tablets), cosmetic industries (producing collagen), and food industries can multiply profitability.

  4. Managing Logistics and the Cold Chain: Using blast freezers (-40°C) and 40-foot refrigerated containers to maintain product quality from origin to destination is an undeniable necessity.

Conclusion: A Future That Must Be Built

The year 2025 could mark the beginning of a major transformation in Iran’s chicken paw export industry. The direct and high-capacity Chinese market has opened a window to a highly profitable economy. However, passing through this golden gate requires overcoming the barriers of stringent health requirements and enhancing production quality and standards.

The successful producers and exporters will be those who recognize the status of chicken paws as a strategic, high value-added product in global industries and, by investing smartly in technology, quality, and marketing, maximize their share of this economic pie.

We hope this analysis serves as a suitable roadmap for your planning in the coming year. If you need a more detailed analysis on a specific topic, we can provide more specialized information.

  1. Focus on Value Addition and Smart Marketing: Instead of focusing on raw chicken paw exports, investing in the production and export of high value-added products like collagen powder or gelatin-rich extract, which have potential demand in Belarus, can be more profitable.

Final Conclusion

Exporting chicken paw-related products to Belarus, although accompanied by challenges, particularly in the areas of sanctions and differing standards, is entirely feasible with careful planning and a long-term strategy. The key to success on this path is patience, thorough examination of conditions, and close cooperation with relevant institutions in both countries.

We hope this analysis serves as a useful roadmap for your planning in the Belarusian market. If you need an analysis of a specific area, such as customs details or a precise list of buyers, we can provide more specialized information.
