The price per tinned standard tuna (180 grams) is about $1.6, said Mohammad Mir-Razavi, head of the wholesalers’ food union. Recently, illegal producers have been offering 50% discount on canned tuna. “These products don’t comply with the basic standards,” he warned, the Iranian Agriculture News Agency reported. Iranian standard tuna products can compete with Asian and European countries and so far, the annual exports have not faced any problems, he noted.
