Neyriz Dried Fig Producers & Exporters Directory | Iranco
101 & parak grades, traditional caprifig pollination, cold chain and directory of Sohrabi, Bakhtegan, Parvin and urban sorting workshops
Neyriz county — Fars’ second rain-fed fig hub with 5–8k ha orchards, grade tables, Tarem/Palangan matrix, and six sorting, cold-store and export units with contacts.
Neyriz in Fars rain-fed fig value chain
Neyriz county in eastern Fars is Iran’s second strategic rain-fed fig hub and a major genetic reservoir of organic orchards — 5,000–8,000 ha planted with 5,000–6,500 ha bearing.
In favourable years dry output reaches 4,000–7,000 t; drought and rainfall below 80 mm can cut yields to 1,500–2,000 t. The Sabz cultivar is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers.

Process from pollination to export packing
Traditional caprifig pollination
Blastophaga psenes transfers pollen from caprifigs; Qasemi and White-seed caprifigs sourced from Ej and Estahban in May–July.
On-tree drying & harvest
Native Sabz cultivar in organic rain-fed orchards; picking mid-August through late November.
Cleaning, sieving & sorting
Debris removal; size and ostiole split grading in urban workshops and sorting lines.
Phosphine fumigation & gradual drying
Stored-product pest control; controlled atmosphere to keep cream-to-yellow skin colour.
2–5 °C cold store & export cartons
Limits caramelisation; 101 AAA through closed-bud grades for China, Gulf and EU buyers.
Market structure, cold chain & bulk leakage
Most tonnage leaves as bulk to Estahban and Shiraz plants and is packed under neighbouring brands — similar physical quality but weak standalone Neyriz identity.
Weak cold chain darkens skins and downgrades lots; Sohrabi’s dedicated store and new private cold rooms help. Indian meal moth and mites require fumigation at 2–5 °C.
Registering a protected GI for Neyriz rain-fed fig at WIPO is key to attract investment and distinguish from Estahban branding.
Food zones in Ghadirgeh and stone industrial towns plus Deh Fazel can absorb surplus fig/pomegranate tonnage via powder, paste and syrup lines.

Strategic outlook
Model caprifig orchards, fumigation-ready cold stores, in-origin powder/paste lines and GI branding can move Neyriz from raw supplier to value-added exporter.
