Shahrekord County Thyme Honey Producers Directory | Iranco
Zagros ecology, thyme SKU matrix, 11 producers & distributors, bulk-sales and export gap analysis
Directory of Shahrekord thyme honey makers and wholesalers — Jeyran, Ferdows Mehr Mahan, Koohrang, Iyazi and beekeeper unions — with proline above INSO 92 and Kashani / industrial-city trade axes.
Ecology & thyme-honey value chain in Shahrekord
Shahrekord county above 2,060 m hosts cold Zagros microclimates and Thymus kotschyanus / T. daenensis rangeland; winter cold, UV and rocky soils drive monoterpene-rich nectar with high thymol and carvacrol.
Lab panels show proline well above Iran standard 92 minima (180 mg/kg), sucrose typically under 5% and diastase above 8—markers that separate mountain thyme honey from plain-fed grades.

Bottlenecks & export horizon
Unbranded 27 kg bulk sales, value leakage to Tehran/Isfahan packers, and missing HPLC plus melissopalynology reports still block UAE, Kuwait and EAEU listings for Zagros thyme honey.
A reference HPLC lab with Shahrekord science park could certify carvacrol/thymol for international buyers.
Strategic synthesis
- Pool pollen-purity and residue testing before export lots.
- Invest in aseptic lines at the industrial city and shared branding for beekeepers.
- Register a geographic indication for Shahrekord Zagros thyme honey.
- Develop nutraceutical blends with royal jelly and local almond powder to hedge drought years.
