101 & parak grades, Simakan orchards, Mithaq and Takarom cold chain, and 16 processing, wholesale and export units
Jahrom county — Fars’ third–fourth rain-fed fig hub with 3,800–5,000 ha orchards, grade tables, Kordian/Kowsar matrix, and Eyvand, Takarom, Aftab Diba plants plus AnjirTek and Mahmoudi traders.
Fars Province dominates Middle East rain-fed fig production and export; Jahrom county, with southern Zagros foothill micro-climates, ranks third to fourth after Estahban and Neyriz, supplying several thousand tonnes of table fig and by-products yearly.
Beyond raw fig, Jahrom supports southern dried-fruit export logistics through above-zero cold stores, shared date/citrus processing lines and Gulf transit corridors.
Terraced rain-fed orchards in Simakan (Arjaviyeh, Dasht Konar, Pol Bebala, Khafar fringe) on gravelly alluvial soils grow the green cultivar; pollination relies on Qodashanaei, Pozdambali and White-seed caprifigs.

Local Qodashanaei, Pozdambali and White-seed caprifigs with Blastophaga to set seed and firm the receptacle before on-branch drying.
Rain-fed green fig on tree or hygienic mesh; mechanical and visual grading after drop.
Shared date/citrus lines in September; methyl bromide, phostoxin and illuminated sorting tables.
Stops Indian meal moth and Aspergillus; keeps super-grade cream–amber colour through the fiscal year.
6–10 kg cartons and container loads from Jahrom corridor to Gulf ports.
A large share of Jahrom rain-fed fig is bought in traditional sacks and trucked to Estahban and Neyriz, then exported under neighbouring brands to China and Vietnam — Jahrom GI identity remains weak.
Most workshops still hand-sort; fatigue-driven errors cut container purity and raise rejection risk in Japan and the EU.
Asian and EU buyers enforce strict aflatoxin limits; slow mountain-to-plant transfer and no accredited lab at Jahrom customs curb access to premium markets.
Contract farming with Simakan co-ops, polymer harvest crates and spot cash purchase can cut informal brokers and brand blending.
Leveraging licensed date vacuum/flow-wrap lines in the industrial town for pressed fig, gift cartons and zip-lock export packs is a low-capex, high-return move.
