Buy Russian Wheat via Caspian Sea & Bandar Abbas
Iran is a strategic, fast-growing buyer of Russian grain — and in 2026 wheat remains the country's priority subsidised import. MOSTAGRO delivers via the Caspian Sea corridor (Astrakhan → Anzali, Neka, Amirabad) and the Bandar Abbas deep-sea route for full-vessel loads.
- Caspian Sea: Astrakhan → Anzali / Neka / Amirabad

Two Sea Routes, One Reliable Supplier
Iran's grain import needs are large and structural — wheat is the country's staple, and a growing poultry sector drives steady demand for feed barley and corn. Russia is Iran's natural partner: a direct Caspian Sea corridor avoids the Bosphorus and Suez entirely, while the Bandar Abbas route serves large deep-sea vessels from the Black Sea.
In 2026 Iran retained subsidies on wheat imports while cutting other food subsidies, which makes wheat the priority import for the state trading companies (GTC) and private importers we work with.

Shipping to Iran — Common Questions
How is Russian wheat shipped to Iran?
There are two main routes. The Caspian Sea route loads at Astrakhan (Russia) and discharges at Iranian Caspian ports — Anzali, Neka or Amirabad — short, economical and with no strait transit. The southern route discharges at Bandar Abbas in the Persian Gulf, served by deep-sea vessels from Novorossiysk via the Bosphorus and Suez Canal.
Why is Iran a priority wheat market for Russia?
In 2026 Iran continued government subsidies on wheat imports while cutting other food subsidies, making wheat the priority staple import. Iran is one of the largest wheat importers in the Middle East, and Russia is its dominant supplier thanks to price, freight and the direct Caspian Sea corridor.
Can you ship feed barley and corn to Iran too?
Yes. We supply Russian feed barley (≥9.5% protein) and non-GMO yellow corn for the Iranian livestock and poultry feed sector, alongside milling wheat. Both Caspian and Bandar Abbas routes are available, with bulk or bagged packaging.
Can you also deliver wheat into Afghanistan via Iran?
Yes. Iran is our corridor for overland wheat and flour delivery into Afghanistan. We discharge at Iranian ports (Caspian or Bandar Abbas) and arrange onward trucking across the Iran–Afghanistan border under DAP terms. See our Afghanistan market page.
