Isfahan Province Natural Honey Producers Directory | Iranco

B2B guide to Isfahan honey — 960k colonies, astragalus and thyme honeys, Najafabad and Khansar plants, ISIRI 92 lab network and 22 verified companies with products and contacts.
Isfahan’s position in Iran’s honey industry
With over 960,000 colonies and roughly 7,500–7,600 tonnes of natural honey per year, Isfahan ranks third nationally. Migratory beekeeping, Zagros pastures and industrial packing in Najafabad and Khansar make the province a processing and export hub.
The chain splits between open-range production in western/southern counties and processing/branding poles in Najafabad, Khansar, Isfahan city and Shahin Shahr.

Lab network & standards
Isfahan uses Najafabad cooperative, Mosafa, Rahpooyan Kamyar, Mehyar Danesh Pars and Hortash labs for ISIRI 92, Codex and export lots.
Strategic outlook
Najafabad migratory management, Khansar branding and private-label lines in industrial towns, plus integrated labs are the three pillars beyond bulk sales into health-oriented value-added honey.
