Market structure & channels
The Iran Legumes Association under the Chamber of Commerce links importers with registration, FX allocation and port inflows. Molavi and Saheb Jam wholesale set daily bulk prices and inter-city flows for Azarshahr splits.
Tehran’s central produce market and branded FMCG networks (Etka, Shahrvand, Refah, OFOGH Koorosh) move packed goods from Shamsabad, Abbasabad and the Karaj Special Road to retail shelves.
Molavi bulk trade alongside modern retail rewards integrated players that control customs clearance through MAP packing lines.
Strategic outlook
FX policy swings margins for wholesalers and packers; integrated customs-to-line operators kept distribution steadier.
Multi-channel color sorters above 99.8% purity, metallized pouches and vacuum packs doubled shelf life; hulled mung is the next urban differentiation SKU.
Salamat certification, traceability codes and small packs will capture more capital value versus traditional bulk.
