B2B guide to Gorgan mung — Parto cultivars, Arshavir and Maede plants, Mino Bazr and Mazrae Namune seed, Famland and Namune Gorgan exports, and raw sales vs digital colour sorting.
Agro-ecology and economic role of green mung on the Gorgan plain
On the Gorgan plain, green mung (Vigna radiata) follows wheat, barley and canola as a second summer crop from late Khordad through mid-Tir. A 65–85 day cycle and low water demand make it key for post-cereal use of Hyrcanian fields; rhizobial nitrogen fixation and organic residue improve soils for the next rotation.
Improved cultivars Parto, Zarbakhsh and Sakhavat were released with Golestan research centres and Gorgan agricultural university. Supplemental irrigation delivers 1,200–2,000 kg/ha versus 600–1,000 kg/ha under traditional broadcast sowing. Gorgan mung is prized for 24–28% crude protein and bright green colour.
Raw sales and missing forward contracts push laser-sort and branded-pack margins outside the county; village workshops lack colour sorters and ageing mechanical cleaners remain the main technical bottleneck.
Processing technology levels & kernel purity
| Tech level | Equipment | Purity / target market |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional threshing | Simple screen & manual winnowing | 85–89% purity; local & feed use |
| Semi-industrial workshop | Single-fan aspirator, vibrating screens | 92–95%; bag wholesale |
| Fully automated plant | Rotary cleaner, gravity table, polisher | 97–98.5%; retail packs |
| Advanced laser line | Digital colour sorter, MAP/vacuum fill | 99.5–99.9%; export & canning |
Industrial infrastructure & trading nodes
| Node | Role |
|---|---|
| Gorgan Industrial Zone 1 (Sarkhonkalateh) | Heavy agro-processing, packing, canning (Shohreh) |
| Gorgan Industrial Zone 2 (Hyderabad) | Pulse processing, sorting, health-oriented packs (Arshavir et al.) |
| Baharan fringe & Nosrabad–Velikabad corridor | Mechanised polish workshops linking farms to regional sorting |
| 30-metre Resalat St., Sarpir & Dabbaghan | Pulse wholesale; visual grading of Sep–Mehr lots |
Industrial cleaning, sorting & packing line
Primary aspirator cleaning
Controlled-air aspirator removes straw, hulls, weeds and dust from the farm lot.
Gravity separation
Vibrating inclined decks split stones and soil lumps matching kernel size.
Size grading
Multi-deck screens reject splits, brokens and off-size kernels.
Digital colour sorting
Spectral cameras and pneumatic ejectors push purity above 99.5% for export lots.
Polish & pack-out
Mechanical polish; 30–50 kg woven bags or 400–900 g MAP pouches for retail chains.
Field harvest window
Mechanised threshing late Shahrivar through mid-Mehr before autumn rain; careful settings prevent splits.

Inter-regional trade flows
Gorgan traders sort mung into four baskets: bold local green, Dezful origin, small local (feed/bird), and uniform Uzbek imports. Domestic flow: county stores → Gorgan–Sari–Tehran (Mowlavi market); export lane: Incheh Borun to Eurasia plus laser-sorted lots to India and the Gulf (UAE, Oman, Iraq) where calibre uniformity and shell lustre are critical.
Raw sales and missing forward contracts push laser-sort and branded-pack margins outside the county; village workshops lack colour sorters and ageing mechanical cleaners remain the main technical bottleneck.
Strategic outlook
Moving from bulk to value-added processing (colour sorters in Hyderabad & Sarkhonkalateh zones, MAP packs, Morvarid Khazar hydroponic sprouts, Shohreh canning) plus contract farming with Mino Bazr and Mazrae Namune seed, aligned with the Gorgan chamber and Incheh Borun transit, can cut raw sales and position Gorgan as northern Iran’s pulse export hub.
