Value-chain analysis & export outlook
Drought and gaz psyllid outbreaks raise adulteration risk via supplemental feeding; leading firms diversify into royal jelly and nut-honey spreads. GCC, Iraq and Canada shipments require Codex STAN 12-1981, strict HMF limits and geographic-indication traceability with QR codes.
Pouya Azma laboratory in Shahid town certifies sucrose, diastase, proline and HMF for export lots.
Strategic recommendations
- Rangeland stewardship for astragalus yeylaq under Natural Resources against drought and psyllid.
- Winter feeding only under co-op supervision with sucrose tests at loading.
- Vacuum de-crystallisation, mild pasteurisation and MAP lines on Sanat 4.
- Register Khansar GI and QR authenticity for domestic and export shelves.
