Bulgur value chain in Tehran Province
Bulgur is cracked grain rebuilt by mechanical stress, hydrothermal conditioning and size grading, retaining more aleurone and micronutrients than white flour. Tehran Province is Iran’s main hub for packing, wholesale and export of whole grains; household demand, catering and downstream food plants (snacks, corn flakes, haleem and ash) drive the market.
Industrial lines cover pre-cleaning, optical sorting, conditioning, primary debranning, steam parboiling, drying to under 11–12% moisture, controlled breakage and multi-deck sieving. Shemshabad, Fateh expressway, Karaj special road and Molavi wholesale market run parallel bulk and retail channels.

Distribution, export & regulation
Tehran runs parallel channels: bulk wholesale along Molavi, Mohammadiyeh and Anbar Naft for haleem cooks and ash vendors; and mesh distribution of 300–900 g packs through Refah, Etka and OFOGH Korosh chains. Bulgur exports under HS 11031900/11032000 clear via West Tehran, Shahriar and IKIA customs with phytosanitary certificates; Iraq, Afghanistan and GCC states are key destinations.
Four priorities: contract farming for durum with western/southern growers; non-GMO corn grit lines in Shemshabad and Abbasabad; gluten-free steel-cut oats for Tehran’s sports nutrition segment; and sustainable composite packs with HACCP for GCC and Central Asia export.
