Market structure & outlook
Grain refineries around Tehran and wholesalers at 15 Khordad cushion starch and sweetener price shocks; hydrocolloids remain import-dependent but capital clearance keeps deliveries on time.
Linking Varamin–Pishva orchards with aseptic lines and Damavand biotech strengthens paste and concentrate exports and reduces reliance on foreign starters.
In bulk contracts, specify maltodextrin DE, pectin type (HM/LM) and paste/concentrate Brix explicitly.
