Jiroft Green Mung Bean Producers & Processing Plants | Iranco
Halil-Rud farm chain, polishing and packing, freight terminal and a 10-firm mung directory for Jiroft County
B2B guide to Jiroft mung — Parto seed, Amiran Halil and Exir Sabzavaran plants, Arses Fidar exports, Shadab distribution, and raw sales vs laser sorting.
Mung bean agro-ecosystem and market dynamics
Jiroft County in southern Kerman, on the fertile Halil-Rud plain with four-season climate diversity, is a hub for tropical, off-season and oilseed crops. Green mung (Vigna radiata) is typically a second summer crop after autumn cereals, stabilising rotations and preparing soils for follow-on vegetables or maize.
Regional agriculture offices target 500–700 ha of low-water legumes as a drought strategy. Local and improved cultivars Parto, Zarbakhsh and Sakhavat yield 900–1,100 kg/ha on the Halil plain; early Tir planting with controlled stand density limits mid-summer flower drop.
Despite farm capacity, trade is asymmetric: growers often sell bulk at thin margins while laser sorting and consumer packs are captured in megacity plants.
Mung product & derivative taxonomy
| Product grade | Standard / specs | Use & market |
|---|---|---|
| Unpolished bulk mung | 3–7% impurities; moisture ≤12% | Local polishers, wholesale yards |
| Standard polished mung | >98% purity; 25–50 kg bags | Wholesale, institutional buyers |
| Laser-sorted export mung | Uniform green; no stain or splits | Premium pack, Gulf markets |
| Certified seed | >99% genetic purity; >90% germination | Co-ops & input dealers |
| Splits & brokens | Harvest/mechanical splits | Canning, feed |
| Fresh sprouts | Hydroponic; short shelf life | Hotels, chain restaurants |
Industrial infrastructure & trading nodes
| Node | Role |
|---|---|
| Industrial Zone 1 (Aliabad) | Flour mills, farm parts, seed grading |
| Industrial Zone 2 | Cold stores, date/citrus sorting, pulse packing |
| Jiroft freight terminal (km 5 Kerman road) | 30+ hauliers; bulk farm outflow |
| Produce market + Qarni / Abuzar | Cash pricing & farm lot aggregation |
Post-harvest chain & bottlenecks
Harvest & threshing
Traditional/semi-mechanised harvest; 10–15% splits when cereal combine settings are reused.
Terminal aggregation
Produce market and Jiroft freight hub; part absorbed by local polishers, bulk exits to national sorting centres.
Mechanical polishing
Screens, aspirators, destoners; ~98% purity for southern retail chains.
Laser sorting (gap)
Most Jiroft plants lack colour sorters; export Grade A often finished in Shiraz, Yazd, Isfahan or Tehran.
Storage & pests
Tir–Mordad harvest heat drives bruchid risk in non-refrigerated stores, pushing distressed spot sales.

Inter-regional trade flows
Three linked layers: Halil plain & Esma’iliyeh farms → produce market and freight terminal → local plants (Amiran Halil, Raisi) plus bulk exit to Shiraz, Yazd, Isfahan and Tehran for laser sort and premium pack. Most sorting value-add leaves the county.
Despite farm capacity, trade is asymmetric: growers often sell bulk at thin margins while laser sorting and consumer packs are captured in megacity plants.
Strategic outlook
Colour sorters in Industrial Zone 2, guaranteed purchase with cold storage, and contract farming (Parto seed, Shadab, Kesht va Sanat Jiroft) can curb raw sales, warehouse bruchid losses, and grow Grade A mung exports via southern ports.
