Iran is one of the most important countries in raisins producing and has seventh rank in the world. In order to have successful production and exporting of this crop should be considered some quality indexes of international unions. Unfortunately, efficiency of raisin production and processing with appropriate quality is reduced in recent years, due to nonconformity of management and scientific principles by producers. This study was conducted with checking production sta tus of raisins in 45 orchards and 65 industrial processing manufactory, randomly. Results of this study showed that Some of these challenges are including; Lack of suitable raisins varieties, poor nutrition, irregular irrigation, pest and disease spread before grapes harvesting for raisins. On the other hand, in most regions, untimely harvesting, flatten the grapes on soil surface for traditional drying and subsequently increase the percentage of sand, gravel and bind soil particles into berries that lead to consume time and money for them separation in manufactory are other problems in raisins production at the first stages. Also, the problems of processing and preparing of raisins for export in mechanized factories are using the unusual chemical treatments such as poor carbonate, paraffin oil with low quality, carrying unprocessed raisins with unsanitary plastic bags from farm to factory, excessive amount of sulfur anhydride used in the processing, raisins with high moisture and non-standard packaging. Scientific, practical and directorial proposals solutions for solving these problems are using the modern methods of biotechnology and nanotechnology in order to identify, breeding and release productive cultivars with resistance to biotic and abiotic environmental stresses, seedless and suitable for processing. Preventive strategies are included; grape cultivation in regains with enough growth period, vineyards nutrition by macro and micro fertilizers with emphasizing the potassium, zinc and boron
