Estahban Dried Fig Producers & Exporters Directory | Iranco
Parak & 101 grading, industrial town, export consortium and a 16+ unit company database
Wegfig, Bank Anjir, Estahban Fig, the export consortium and growers’ co-op — grade tables, derivatives, aflatoxin compliance and Ej/Roniz industrial belts.
Estahban rain-fed fig value chain
Estahban County in eastern Fars hosts the world’s largest rain-fed fig orchards and Iran’s fourth GIAHS site — about 25,950 ha, 4,100+ grower households and 16–22 kt dried fig in good years.
Roughly 90–95% of Iran’s dried fig exports originate here; climate volatility and bulk raw sales push cold chain, industrial processing and mechanised packing to the top of the agenda.
Commercial grades & calibration (Sabz cultivar)
Sorting uses berry size (mm), opening (ostiole) and skin colour; cv. Sabz is optimised for on-tree drying.

| Super Parak | >24 mm | Fully open, cream/amber | China, Hong Kong, GCC luxury |
| 101 AAA | 22–24 mm | Medium open | EU, East Asia, retail chains |
| 101 AA/A | 20–22 mm | Mild open | India, Russia, Turkey bulk |
| Ghoncheh | 18–22 mm | Closed, uniform cream | Vacuum gift, hospitality |
| Grade AA/A | 18–22 mm | Closed light | Wholesale, base export |
| Grade B | 14–18 mm | Closed dark | Pastry, paste, industry |
| Laki | All sizes | Mahogany/burnt tone | Syrup, vinegar, preserves |
| Torsheh/Pofaki | Medium | Spongy, low density | Powder, low-cost derivatives |

Processing & export quality controls
From dry-farmed orchards to containerised loads at Estahban industrial town:
On-tree drying & harvest
Sabz cultivar; picked after natural moisture drop.
Pre-sort & hygienic gas treatment
Ej zone and mechanised warehouses.
Laser/UV sorting rooms
Aflatoxin control before loading.
Vacuum & export cartons
Parak and 101 grades for Asia/EU.
Cold chain logistics
Limits caramelisation in heat.
Derivatives (paste, syrup, bars)
Reduces harvest-season dependency.
Industrial zones & chain hubs
Sorting, storage and processing concentrate in three belts:
| Zone | Role | Capacity / status | Key players |
|---|---|---|---|
| Estahban industrial town (~30 ha) | Modern processing pole | 13 licensed plants; 70%+ fig-related | Wegfig, Bank Anjir, consortium |
| Ej industrial area | Pre-sort near orchards | Less bulk transit | Mechanised stores |
| Roniz industrial area | Packing & cold store | Provincial road access | Nut workshops |
| Urban buffer warehouses | Short-term wholesale | Peak harvest | Local traders |
Institutional coordinators
| Body | Mission | Key tools |
|---|---|---|
| Estahban Fig Export Consortium | Price floor, load pooling | Single brand; Russia, GCC, India |
| Iran National Fig Association (Shiraz Chamber) | Private-sector coordination | GI filing, aflatoxin SOPs, customs |
Exports, standards & barriers
Aflatoxin monitoring and UV tables serve EU thresholds; Wegfig reports ISO 22000, HACCP and FDA alignment to 40+ countries. Farm QR traceability (Samak) is critical for China and EAEU.
Sanctions, insurance, FX pledges and 48-hour trailer holds add cost; exporters pivot to India, Iraq and fig-bar formats to diversify.
Fig bars and energy bars help reduce single-market exposure to East Asia.
Industrial-zone power shortages at peak delivery and up to 50% crop swings make dedicated substations and cold stores urgent.

Supply-chain modernisation outlook
Moving from bulk raw exports to an international processing hub requires power upgrades, toxin labs and consortium support.
Consumer-ready packs plus protein bars and additive-free concentrates will lock in GIAHS orchard value.
Iranco connects you with verified players in this chain.
