Isfahan County wheat flour value chain
Milling in Isfahan County is a durable pillar of central-plateau food security. Transit corridors, mechanized silos and Bühler roller lines give the county an extra-regional role in wheat processing, bakery and specialty flour, and feedstock for grain biorefineries.
Mills cluster in three zones: north/northwest (Mahmoudabad), south/southeast (Baharestan and Qale Shour), and east (Harand and Jelghe), supplying the Isfahan metro bakery network.
