Hamadan County walnut value chain
Hamadan County is the province’s administrative, economic and logistics core; 990+ ha of walnut orchards on the Alvand foothills and belts such as Sulan and Maryanj yield 10,500+ t of fresh and dried nuts each year.
Alongside local production, Boali and Baharan industrial zones, the Hegmataneh wholesalers terminal at Jorghan and historic bazaar lanes make Hamadan the western Iran hub for sorting, packing and export of regional walnut flows.

Logistics flow: historic bazaar to Jorghan terminal
Historic bazaar intake
Hossein Khani, Eskandariyeh and Baba Taher lanes once absorbed sack loads with fully manual cracking — moisture and asymmetric breakage were chronic quality risks.
Hegmataneh wholesale terminal
Jorghan’s wholesalers city moved bulk trade out of the old core with industrial warehouses and heavy scales, staging cartons for Parviz Khan and Mehran corridors.
Boali & Baharan industrial axis
Sahar, Zarin Nab and Namika convert kernels into jams, pickles and MAP packs; mechanised sorting stabilises export-grade uniformity.

Market structure, banking & export corridors
Orchard lots from Alvand and Sulan move to Hegmataneh banking or directly to Boali IZ; western exports via Parviz Khan, Mehran and Khosravi rely on sorted lines from Sahar, Zarin Nab Sina and Tazechin.
Hamadan Walnut Producers & Exporters Association (Chamber of Commerce) and the county Jihad Agriculture office coordinate health permits, certified seedlings and trade missions.
Structural chain challenges
Traditional processing dominance
Most volume still trades in-shell or in non-specialised cartons; missing integrated cracking and optical sorting cuts sound-kernel yields.
Hard-shell waste gap
Surplus shell and green husk around Hamadan is often burned locally while Dorin-style plants in Toyserkan prove high-value industrial uses.
Seed orchard heterogeneity
Old mixed stands skew size and colour; Boali packers need top-worked Chandler/Fernor blocks for uniform raw material.
Orchard lots from Alvand and Sulan move to Hegmataneh banking or directly to Boali IZ; western exports via Parviz Khan, Mehran and Khosravi rely on sorted lines from Sahar, Zarin Nab Sina and Tazechin.
Investment priorities
Mechanised cracking and optical sorting near Jorghan and Boali, scaling hard-shell biomass into activated carbon and drilling powders, orchard top-working with Chandler/Fernor, and MAP export branding for walnut pickles and nut jams.
