Market structure & bottlenecks
Isfahan Central Market and Shahreza terminal set prices for inbound northern and southern citrus; Zayandeh Rud water stress threatens Shah Miveh belts in Falavarjan and Khomeynishahr.
B2B buyers should specify quince jam Brix and PPO control, lime juice acid profile without secondary limonene bitterness, and MRL / orchard traceability (Sanka) for export quince.
Risk matrix & outlook
| Factor | Isfahan status | Impact | Response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water stress | Falavarjan, Khomeynishahr | Lower Shah Miveh yields | Subsurface irrigation & dwarf rootstocks |
| Fire blight | Pear & quince orchards | Tree dieback | Quarantine nurseries & scouting |
| Transit decay | Inbound citrus | Penicillium rot | Smart reefer monitoring |
| On-tree quince sales | Natanz autumn | Price crash | Slice & aseptic puree contracts |
Linking Shah Miveh and Natanz orchards with Ji condiment lines, upgrading CA rooms in Semirom and Shahreza, and scaling Mobarakeh freeze-dry underpins Isfahan as a West Asia hub for pome fruit and citrus.
