Cold chain & post-harvest engineering
Pre-cooling
Remove field heat within hours of harvest to avoid yellowing and core discoloration.
Sort & clean
Cull damaged leaves; grade heads for mesh, crates or factory infeed.
0–2°C storage
90–95% RH; high respiration rate needs continuous monitoring.
Export loading
Reefer containers via Astara and Amirabad; CA pallets for Russia and Kazakhstan.
Isfahan County cabbage storage standard: 0–2°C at 90–95% RH; skipping pre-cool erodes export quality.

Ji Industrial City (Esalat, Golpar) is the largest pickle and brined-vegetable cluster; Soroush Badaran (Razaat, Reyhan Ara) sits beside Baran farms; Faradis and Salad Baghban cover MAP salads and IQF shreds.

Strategic outlook
Zayandeh-Roud water stress shifts value from field bulk sales toward processing, MAP salads, probiotic sauerkraut and reefer exports; optical sorting and CA pallets are critical for Russia and Kazakhstan buyers.
