B2B guide to Kashmar Peykami green pen raisins — Farasinaps (Salar), Fidar Mazze, Turfanda, Zarin Kabir, Qovzhd barghah, Mazafari yard and INSO 3122 sulfur grades.
Tartiz agro-climate and Peykami green pen raisin processing basics
The ancient Tartiz plain around Kashmar offers hot summers, 3,000+ sunshine hours and well-drained loam for high-Brix vineyards. The county spans 12,700+ ha of field crops and 32,000+ ha of orchards, shipping roughly 14,000 t of strategic green and golden pen raisins each year.
Of 23 recorded cultivars, ~95% of orchard area is Peykami and Askari. Peykami anchors seedless green pen export (HS 0806.20.70); Askari supplies seeded green grades (0806.20.80).
Biological split & customs tariff codes
| Cultivar | Berry form | Orchard share | HS code / product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peykami | Seedless pen, dense flesh | ~95% of orchard area | Green pen raisin — HS 0806.20.70 |
| Askari | Thin skin, seeded | Complementary share | Seeded green raisin — HS 0806.20.80 |
Quality grades, moisture & sulfur ceiling (INSO 3122)
| Grade / parameter | Limit | Quality implication |
|---|---|---|
| Premium (INSO 3122) | ≤200 ppm SO₂ | Export green pen ceiling |
| Standard processing | 90–110 ppm SO₂ | Below heavy-smoke golden grades |
| Moisture target | 10–12% | Prevents sugar crystallization |
Processing technology: barghah to laser sort
Alkaline dip (lye bath)
Potassium carbonate and approved food oil break cuticular wax for faster moisture release.
Shade drying in barghah
Clusters hung on galvanized wire in traditional ventilated Kashmar raisin sheds.
Enclosed sulfur sublimation
Inactivates polyphenol oxidase to protect emerald green pen colour.
Moisture lock at 10–12%
Maintains meaty texture and blocks sugar crystallization and microbes.
Plant line: wash to X-ray
Hydraulic wash, centrifugal moisture removal, rotary destemming, optical sort and X-ray.
−18 °C cold chain
Preserves chlorophyll after drying; blocks photo-oxidative browning in storage.
Value-chain layers: barghah, wholesale yards, mechanized plants
| Chain layer | Hubs in Kashmar | Equipment / function | Output to next layer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barghah conversion | Qovzhd, Furughfe, Fedafen, Farahdasht | Ventilated sheds, lye tanks, sulfur pots | Unsorted bulk green pen |
| Wholesale yards | Mazafari yard, Kashmar–Khalilabad axis | Weighbridge, 3 kg straw cartons, commission stalls | Aggregated bulk (Kashmar man unit) |
| Mechanized plants | Industrial park km 13 | Hydraulic wash, optical sort, X-ray | Shrink-wrapped 5–10 kg export cartons |
Geographic value-chain matrix
Villages such as Qovzhd, Furughfe and Fedafen anchor traditional barghah drying; Kashmar’s industrial zone pivots unsorted wire raisins into washed, laser-sorted export cartons.
| Belt | Role | Processing | Key players |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qovzhd / Furughfe / Fedafen | Barghah & bulk aggregation | Unsorted wire raisin | Qovzhd brokers |
| Kashmar industrial zone | Industrial processing | Laser sort & cartons | Farasinaps, Turfanda, Zarin Kabir |
| Farah Dasht | Currants & export | Autumn Royal blocks | Avin Gohar |
| Keshavarz Blvd / Mazafari | Daily wholesale | Table grapes | Tehran–Mashhad traders |
Market structure, MRL & cold chain
Mazafari yard and Kashmar–Khalilabad roadside hubs price bulk lots in traditional 3 kg straw cartons using the Kashmar man unit. The customs assessment desk inside the industrial park now clears origin certificates and reefer seals locally instead of routing every load through Mashhad.
| Variable | Threshold / status | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Gulf / Pakistan / India | SO₂ < 200 ppm, uniform green | Visual grade & soft texture |
| EU / UK / Japan | 50 ppm or zero; desulfiting wash | Reject at border without compliant line |
| “Kashmar man” trade unit | 3 kg straw carton equivalent | Traditional bulk price discovery |
Storing green pen raisins at −18 °C halts respiration and lets exporters sell into peak global demand seasons instead of distressed harvest-month sales.

Strategic outlook
Upgrade hydraulic wash, optical sort and X-ray inspection lines in the industrial park to remove stem trash, glass and metal from barghah-sourced lots.
Meter sulfur gas instead of open-kiln sublimation and tighten barghah SO₂ dosing to reach sub-50 ppm EU and East Asia ceilings.
Expand county-wide −18 °C cold stores to lock emerald chlorophyll colour and avoid oxidative downgrade in ambient warehouses.
