Four-layer value chain
Import & customs
Tehran traders book high-tonnage lots in 25–50 kg PP bags.
Warehousing & wholesale
Shourabad & Kahrizak with humidity and phosphine regimes.
Industrial processing
Polishing, laser colour sort and 400–900 g packs in Abbasabad & Shamsabad.
Final distribution
FMCG chains and wholesale produce markets nationwide.
Heat and moisture can cut green lentil value by 30–40% in wholesale banking; controlled warehousing in Rey is a core competitive edge.

Market structure & wholesale banking
Over 70–80% of Iran’s lentil consumption is sourced from Canada, Russia and Kazakhstan; inbound lots move to Shourabad and Kahrizak with phosphine fumigation and humidity control.
Molavi and Anbar Naft set daily bulk prices; cargo flows to Shamsabad, Abbasabad and Nasirabad plants for polishing, laser colour sorting and 400–900 g retail packs.
Players without optical sorting and controlled stores lose share; Golha, Barsam and leading lines have raised purity benchmarks.
Strategic outlook
Integrating foreign booking through standard Shourabad storage and hygienic packing in Pakdasht and Robat Karim defines winners in Greater Tehran and national FMCG networks.
