Cold chain & Behman terminal
Hot carcasses flow nightly from Varamin, Rey, Islamshahr and Shahriar plants to Behman wholesale terminal (District 16); frozen strategic stocks in Kahrizak and Shourabad feed retail via 0–4 °C and −18 °C fleets.
Gooshtiran, Mahya and Pooya Protein run capillary modern retail supply; Hani retorts and Elite extracts use ambient dry distribution.
Strategic outlook
Dual positioning—premium SKUs (98% jerky, hand-formed burgers) versus economy emulsion formulas—and the shift from stretch film to MAP/skin-pack define Tehran meat processors’ competitive edge.
