Jahrom in the Fars Shahani date chain
Jahrom county is a key agro-industrial hub in southern Fars, producing over one million tonnes of orchard crops yearly — about 2.1% of world dates and 6% of citrus in national terms.
Shahani (local Shaoni) dominates county palm plantings. The value chain spans orchards, deep processing, cold stores, specialty cartons and export via Jahrom Industrial Town, Kowsar zone and the Jahrom SEZ.

Logistics village

Structural challenges & tech responses
Traditional non-moisture-proof cartons cause syrup leak and bruising on long sea transit; missing optical sort in small workshops mixes export lots.
MAP (CO₂/N₂) and thermo vacuum can give 18-month cool shelf life; liquid-sugar refineries can upgrade ~15% harvest waste.
Quality loss from weak cartons on long ocean routes raises export rejection risk.
County-wide optical sorting in the industrial town and SEZ standardises Shahani export lots.
Conclusion & strategic path
Jahrom hosts a dense Shahani ecosystem: Takarom and Shahani Products in processing, Bita Bon and Rad Pardis in export, Mithaq and Mojahedi in cold chain, Saray Pack in cartons.
Global competitiveness needs MAP investment, standard chip/paste lines, digital sorting and geographical-indication branding for Jahrom Shahani.
- MAP and thermo-vacuum packing lines
- Mechanised chip & paste for small sizes
- Integrated optical sort in industrial town & SEZ
- National/international GI branding
