Market structure & central wholesale
Tehran Central Fruit & Vegetable Market (phases 1–2) is the national price-discovery hub for pears and quince — from Shahriar and Damavand orchards through sort, cold storage, broker stalls, then retail or airport customs.
Export-grade Dargazi and Isfahan quince move from Tehran trading houses (Sourin, Zaem, Oveyssi) in double-row cartons and chilled containers to Russia and Iraq.
Strategic outlook
Fire-blight control via clonal rootstocks, optical sorting to cut 15–25% transit waste, and formal links between Damavand–Shahriar grower co-ops and capital food holdings are the three pillars for a sustainable Tehran pear–quince chain.
