Isfahan Province Grape Producers & Processors | Iranco
6,000+ ha of vineyards, three agro-ecological basins, vinegar & verjuice lines and 25+ mapped units
B2B guide to fresh grapes, raisins, verjuice and industrial processing in Isfahan — county matrix for Tiran and Mobarakeh, Asalat, Takistan Zayandeh Rud, Amirabad cold stores, Momeni and Danob export.
Grape sector role in Isfahan fruit chain
With more than six thousand hectares of bearing vineyards, Isfahan is a central hub for fresh grapes, raisins, verjuice and industrial derivatives — three basins (west Zagros, southern foothills, moderate north) spread cultivars and harvest windows for domestic and export markets.
Soroush, Ji and Morché Khort industrial zones run vinegar, vacuum molasses, pasteurized verjuice and concentrate lines; Amirabad, Sepahan Goldasht and Miveh Pardez cold stores convert harvest surpluses into raisins and chilled export cargo.

Market structure and bottlenecks
Isfahan central fruit market (Khaju) sets daily prices for fresh grapes and raisins; peak harvest in Tiran and Mobarakeh without field pre-cooling drives quality loss and wholesale discounts.
Industrial demand for verjuice and molasses stabilises Asalat and Takistan Zayandeh Rud against grade 2–3 grape price swings; raisin exports flow through Momeni and Danob toward CIS and Gulf destinations.
B2B buyers should fix Brix, verjuice acidity and bulk delivery format (IBC/tanker) in processing contracts; export raisin programmes typically require residue certificates and VCI packing on Shahdina and Shahdis sorting lines.
Strategic outlook
Optical raisin sorting, origin cold stores in Tiran and Mobarakeh, and diverting surplus harvest into concentrate and industrial vinegar are the main levers for the next decade; Tiran rural union alignment with Danob and Momeni export networks strengthens regional market access.
