Wholesale, bulk trading & distribution
| Unit | County | Activity | Main products | Export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alghadir Kamalinejad Dry Goods Hub | Isfahan | National bulk trading | Pistachio & almond slivers, glucose, bulk dates | Nationwide |
| Haj Abdullah Cotton Candy (Etminan Ice Cream) | Isfahan | Central cotton-candy DC | Fiber & chocolate cotton candy, bulk for pastry shops | Nationwide |

| Zarmir Food Distribution | Isfahan | Provincial distribution | Packaged souvenirs, hyper & chain retail | Regional |
Alghadir hub, exports & compliance
The Alghadir food wholesale complex feeds pistachio slivers, glucose and bulk dates to plants and inter-province traders; GCC exports favor luxury flour gaz and chocolate-enrobed dates, while EU access depends on ISO 22000/FSSC and strict pistachio aflatoxin limits. Sayapakhsh and Zarmir handle capillary branded distribution in modern retail.
Scarcity of wild gazangbin manna in Zagros pastures (Khansar) splits the market into high-volume invert/glucose gaz and premium organic manna lines (Assari, Kermani).
Strategic outlook
Isomalt gaz (Kamvar), continuous vacuum kettles and twin-screw extrusion, metallized MAP packs and the Isfahan gaz industrial cluster — from GI registration to shared aflatoxin labs — define the next upgrade cycle.
Iranco connects you with Ji plants, Alghadir bulk hub and capillary distributors.
