Four industrial zones, Pishva & Safadasht spray-dryers, Algare export butter and a database of 30 processing units
B2B guide to butter, pasteurized kashk and dairy powders in Tehran — Pegah Fath, Shekalli, Shameh Shir, Calin, Kambiz and Middle East export lanes.
Tehran Province links Qazvin, Varamin, Pishva and Shahriar dairy belts, cold-chain logistics and a 13-million consumer base — the national hub for butter, kashk and concentrated dairy powders. After FX reform, plants shifted from bulk butter imports to on-site churning and large spray-dryers.
This report maps four production zones, twelve product branches, processing technology and a verified directory of 30 companies.

Premium raw milk below 14°D acidity and >3.2% fat drives spray-dryer competition; export duty swings and caseinate imports shape B2B margins.
Snack kashk, local MPC and IR export codes are the three mid-term growth pillars around Tehran.
The Pishva–Shahriar–Tehran network enables butter and SMP exports to the Middle East and Eurasia.
