Saveh County — Iran’s pomegranate capital linked to Kaveh industry
Saveh in Markazi’s semi-arid plain combines Malas Saveh orchards in central districts and Noberan with Kaveh Industrial City for processing, optical sorting and exports to the Gulf and Eurasia.
The chain spans luxury 5 kg export cartons through aseptic concentrate, 65–75 Brix paste, NFC juice and circular use of seed oil and press cake alongside Iran’s largest industrial hub.

Post-harvest sorting engineering
Intake & grading
Split export luxury from grade 2/3 industrial fruit by skin and calibre.
Optical sorting
Weight/calibre lines; 5 kg cartons for luxury channel.
Pre-cool & CA
5–6 °C, 90–95% RH with ethylene management.
Extraction & concentrate
Industrial fruit to aseptic concentrate or 65–75 Brix paste.
Derivatives & recovery
IQF arils, cold-pressed seed oil, dried pomace.
Cold chain, export terminal & logistics
Historic county cold capacity was ~30,000 t; the 20,000 t dual-line Kaveh complex and a 20 ha central export terminal target post-harvest losses and raw-fruit sales.
Storage needs 90–95% RH, 5–6 °C and ethylene scrubbing; Kaveh CA rooms support Yalda, Nowruz and winter Eurasia demand windows.
Groundwater stress raises grade-2/3 share; Sunich and Nar Iran plants absorb industrial tonnage to stabilise farm-gate prices.

Market dynamics & circular economy
Regional buyers favour stable-Brix aseptic concentrate and packed NFC; pomegranate seed oil and tannin-rich pomace feed cosmetics and livestock nutrition.
Strategic outlook
NIR sorting at the export terminal, retail NFC tetrapak lines and a side-industry park for pectin and natural colours will anchor Saveh’s national brand through the next decade.
