Yogurt chain and industrial dairy in Isfahan Province
Isfahan Province is the engine of Iran’s super-scale dairy sector; its raw milk volume matches the combined capacity of more than sixteen provinces. Faka support farms, model pastures and processing plants in Mahmoudabad, Soroush Badaran and J Industrial City underpin a multi-faceted ecosystem from set and stirred yogurt to Icelandic, probiotic and traditional lines from Golpayegan and Kashan.
High-quality raw milk combined with locally built processing lines has made full coverage of the yogurt portfolio for national and regional markets possible.

Set in consumer container
Pasteurization 90–95°C, inoculation with Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus in cup; in-pack fermentation to target acidity.
Industrial stirred
Fermentation in stainless tanks, mechanical curd break, uniform creamy texture without whey separation; tub and cup packing.
Value-added and traditional
Filtration for skyr and Greek; strained in cloth bags; cream-top with surface cooling in Golpayegan and east Isfahan workshops.

Distribution, wholesale and cold chain
Yogurt distribution depends on 2–6°C holding. Pegah Bazargostar (Razmandegan Blvd, ۰۳۱۳۴۴۱۶۶۳۶) covers Pegah Isfahan and Golpayegan assortments across the mesh; Banichao Iranians in J Industrial City (۰۳۱۳۵۷۲۳۱۵۶) is Kaleh’s agent for Sun, Greek and Icelandic yogurt. Mihan Distribution Center (Zahedi Highway), Ramak and Sobh, and Savash Nain in the east complete the network.
| Entity | Location | Role | Yogurt range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pegah Bazargostar Region 4 | Isfahan | Refrigerated fleet | Famas, traditional, Icelandic, shallot |
| Banichao (Kaleh) | J Industrial City | Chain and modern retail | Sun, Greek, Icelandic |
| Mihan Distribution Isfahan | Zahedi Highway | Wholesale and retail | Full-fat set, Yogo, traditional |
| J / Arghavaniyeh wholesale | East Isfahan | Restaurant and hotel | Shallot tub, 15 kg strained |
| Savash Nain | Nain | Eastern distribution | Packaged pasteurized · ۰۳۱۴۶۲۶۰۵۱۰ |
Even small temperature swings cause curd souring and whey separation; cold-store seals at plant loading are the B2B standard.
Complementary counties and outlook
Eastern and desert areas without mega-plants are supplied from central distribution (Pegah, Banichao); west Zagros is a raw milk reservoir for Pegah Golpayegan, Asil and Karaneh. Demand is shifting toward Icelandic, probiotic and lactose-free lines while cream-top and sheep yogurt retain stable markets.
With industrial-town logistics hubs, the medium-term outlook for specialty Isfahan yogurt exports to the Persian Gulf, Iraq and the Iranian plateau is clear.
