Iran Dates Price in Malaysia: Mariami and Mazafati Pack by Pack
If you searched for “Iran dates price Malaysia”, this guide works from one list only: the published prices of one Malaysian wholesaler, checked on 11 November 2026. Every ringgit figure below comes from that list. Where a pack was out of stock on the day, I say so plainly. An out-of-stock price tells you what a pack cost last time, not what you can pay this week.
The Iranian varieties you will meet under Malaysian trade names include Mazafati, Mariami, Piarom and Sayer. Mazafati comes from Bam in Kerman province and is also traded as Rotab Mazafati Bam or kurma madu. Mariami comes from Iran, with no more exact region given here. Piarom comes from Hormozgan, and Sayer, also traded as Stamaran, comes from Khuzestan. Malaysia has no commercial date-growing trade, so every one of them reaches you as an import.
The list I used carries Mariami in nine listings and Mazafati in two. It has no Piarom and no Sayer pack at all. So the honest version of this guide is mostly about Mariami, with a short look at the rotab listings and a straight answer on the other two.
Iran dates price Malaysia: the Mariami listings
Mariami is dark, semi-dry and chewy. On this list it is also the Iranian date you can actually buy right now: four of its nine listings were in stock. Here they all are, in-stock packs first.
| Listing name | Pack weight | Price now | Regular price | RM per kg | Stock (11 Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mariami A Normal 2026 [5kg] | 5kg | RM75 | RM120 | RM15.00 | In stock |
| Mariami AA 2026 [5kg] | 5kg | RM129 | RM200 | RM25.80 | In stock |
| Mariami AAA VIP 2026 [5kg] | 5kg | RM148 | RM230 | RM29.60 | In stock |
| 1kg Mariami AAA | 1kg | RM40 | RM60 | RM40.00 | In stock |
| Mariami A no.2 – 5kg | 5kg | RM68 | RM120 | RM13.60 | Out of stock |
| Mariami AA – 5kg (No.2) | 5kg | RM80 | RM200 | RM16.00 | Out of stock |
| Mariami AA Pouch Bag 2026 200g*24pcs | 4.8kg | RM147 | RM180 | RM30.62 | Out of stock |
| Mariami AA Pouch Bag 400g*12pcs | 4.8kg | RM153 | RM180 | RM31.88 | Out of stock |
| Mariami Jumbo Premium Box 500g*12pcs | 6kg | RM235 | RM250 | RM39.17 | Out of stock |
Start with the cheapest pack you can order. Mariami A Normal at RM75 for 5kg works out to RM15 a kilo. That was the lowest per-kilo price of any in-stock date on the whole list, not just among the Iranian ones. The next lowest in-stock date was a Safawi 5kg pack at RM16 a kilo.
Moving up the grades inside the in-stock 5kg packs costs RM54 from A Normal to AA, then another RM19 from AA to AAA VIP. The first step is the big one.
The 1kg pack is a different sum. RM40 buys one kilo graded AAA, so five of them would cost RM200. The in-stock 5kg pack named AAA VIP is RM148. The grade names are not identical, so treat that as a rough guide to what the bigger pack saves, not a like-for-like comparison.
Two AA listings at 5kg sit on the same list at very different prices: RM129 for the one in stock and RM80 for the “No.2” listing that was sold out. If a quote for Mariami AA looks unusually low, ask which of the two it is before you compare it with anything else.
Every Mariami listing showed a regular price above the price now. The gap ranges from RM15 on the Jumbo Premium Box to RM120 on the out-of-stock AA No.2. Compare the price you would actually pay, not the crossed-out figure.
Mazafati and the rotab listings
Mazafati is dark, very soft and high in moisture, and it needs refrigeration. It is cold-stored and sold year-round, which is why you can find soft rotab outside the harvest months.
On this list, two 12-packet listings carry Mazafati or Bam in the name. Rotab Mazafati AAA 12pkt * 600gm was RM86 for 7.2kg, or RM11.94 a kilo, the lowest per-kilo figure of any date on the list, in stock or not. Rotab BAM AAA 12pkt * 600g was RM88, or RM12.22 a kilo. Both were out of stock when I checked. A third 12-packet rotab listing at RM90 names no variety, so I have left it out of the Iranian count.
Because Mazafati needs the fridge, budget for that space before you order 7.2kg of it.
Piarom and Sayer have no price here
Piarom is dark and semi-dry with a thin skin. Sayer is amber-brown and semi-dry. Both come from Iran, and neither appeared on the list I checked, so I have no ringgit figure to give you for either. Any price you see for them should come from a seller who names the pack weight and the grade in writing.
How Iranian dates sit next to other origins
To put the Mariami figures in context, here are the in-stock per-kilo ranges for the main date varieties on the same list. The origin column gives where each variety comes from. The Medjool listings name Palestine, spelt Palestin on some.
| Variety | Origin | Listings in stock | In-stock RM per kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mariami | Iran | 4 of 9 | RM15.00 to RM40.00 |
| Mazafati (rotab) | Bam, Iran | 0 of 2 | none in stock |
| Safawi | Madinah region, Saudi Arabia | 7 of 9 | RM16.00 to RM45.00 |
| Deglet Noor | Tunisia / Algeria | 1 of 10 | RM18.33 |
| Sukkary | Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia | 1 of 1 | RM21.00 |
| Ajwa | Madinah, Saudi Arabia | 5 of 13 | RM23.00 to RM44.00 |
| Medjool | Palestine | 5 of 9 | RM56.00 to RM77.78 |
Two things stand out. Mariami’s in-stock range starts lower than any other variety in this table, and the dearest Mariami pack, the RM40 kilo, still costs less per kilo than the cheapest in-stock Medjool at RM56. At the top end, though, Mariami overlaps with Safawi and Ajwa. A kilo of Mariami AAA at RM40 costs more per kilo than the cheapest in-stock Ajwa, a 5kg pack that works out at RM23 a kilo.
Reading a price list before you pay
Grades such as A, AA, AAA and Jumbo are each importer’s own size sorting. They are not an international standard, so “AA” from one seller and “AA” from another may not match. Ask for the pack weight and work out the price per kilo yourself. That one number makes two lists comparable.
A good listing also tells you the variety, the grade and whether it is in stock. Our checklist of what an online date listing should include goes through the rest. For the bigger question of who sits behind a supplier, there is a newer piece (in Malay) on tracing an Iranian date supply chain back to its source.
If you buy for a shop, plan around the calendar. Demand for dates peaks before and during Ramadan, and Hari Raya, weddings, kenduri and umrah gifts bring other busy spells. There is more on how buyers judge quality in our buyer’s guide to premium dates, and an older note on Mariami prices and value.

How current is this list?
