Tehran County Wheat Flour Mills Directory
Fath & Rey corridors, INSO 103 grades, 18+ mill database and Mollavi–Khayyam wholesale
Directory of Taban, Bakhtar, Golha and Zar mills in Tehran County — null to sangak grades, Caspian temporary wheat admission, wholesale and capital supply-chain analysis.
Tehran County wheat flour value chain
Tehran County is Iran’s hub for grain consumption, industrial milling and commercial decision-making — combining heritage roller mills, mechanized silos, packing lines and headquarters of major food holdings.
Large mills cluster on the southwest corridor (Fath freeway and Qazvin Ave.) and the southern belt (Rey, Kahrizak, Old Qom road), while the capital hosts commodity exchange, trade HQs and inter-provincial logistics.
Subsidized bakery flour moves on controlled vouchers; industrial, patisserie and free-market flour trades along Mollavi, Khayyam and Mohammadiyeh via the Tehran food wholesalers union.

Dual pricing & temporary admission
Tehran flour economics are dual-track: Type-1 subsidized wheat for smart-card bakeries, Type-2 for free bakers and Type-3 industrial wheat priced on the commodity exchange. Export of flour from subsidized domestic wheat is banned; leading mills use temporary Caspian wheat admission and re-export processed flour to neighbors.
Taban, Tehran Bakhtar and Hoseinian Trading are active in Iraq and Afghanistan flour contracts; Tehran’s insurance, shipping and credit cluster eases international deals.
Development outlook
Three trends: relocating dusty mills to satellite industrial towns; growth of whole-grain and wellness SKUs in retail pack; digitizing Shourabad warehouses and Mollavi wholesale for industrial flour transparency.
