B2B guide to Saveh pomegranate concentrate — Nar Iran, Sunich, Saveh Anar, Nariko, Anarin, TTM and Pars Faravar; grade matrix, vacuum process and aseptic export specs.
Saveh County in Markazi Province hosts ~11,000 ha of orchards and 150–170 kt annual harvest, feeding clear and cloudy concentrate, NFC juice and industrial paste. Malas Saveh, Yusufhani and sweet Alak cultivars deliver 14–16 Brix direct juice and stable anthocyanins for export-grade processing.
Fifteen to twenty-five percent of the crop (22–40 kt) is routed as industrial fruit to Kaveh Industrial City and its special economic zone — 600+ plants, dedicated customs and rail links.

Nar Iran in Kaveh runs thin-film vacuum evaporators and gentle arillation for EU-bound concentrate. Alifard (Sunich) converts autumn industrial tonnage into aseptic concentrate feeding year-round filling lines. Saveh Anar and Nariko cover optical sorting, CA cold rooms and B2B drums at 65–75 Brix paste and 265 kg aseptic packs.
Skin cracking and mould shrink the industrial fruit window to under 48 hours; daily intake at Nar Iran and Sunich prevents farm-gate collapse. Drought has raised skin-to-aril ratio and tannin load, pushing advanced pectinase and fine filtration.
Competitive export trade relies on aseptic bags in 265 kg steel drums stored at −18 °C; 25–30 kg PE pails suit short domestic runs only. Reputable Saveh suppliers back shipments with HPLC organic-acid profiles and heavy-metal panels against adulteration.
Cluster growth hinges on finishing Saveh’s export terminal, valorising pomace (omega‑5 oil and peel pigments) and orchard organic certification for EU nutraceutical buyers.
Anchoring concentrate capacity in Kaveh, circular pomace economics and a reference lab at the export terminal are the three pillars for Saveh’s global B2B pomegranate brand.
