Jiroft Mazafati Date Producers & Processors Directory | Iranco
Processing, packing, cold-chain logistics and a 21-firm Mazafati operator database for the Helil Rud plain
B2B guide to Jiroft Mazafati: product taxonomy, Sabzavaran Afatob sorting hub, Chaharfasl & Shadab cold chain, and 21 processors, wholesalers and exporters with contacts.
Mazafati date value chain in Jiroft County
Mazafati (Phoenix dactylifera cv. Mazafati) is Iran’s leading soft fresh date with 20–25% moisture and thin glossy skin; Jiroft on the fertile Helil Rud plain ripens early, making the county a first supplier of new-season rutab to domestic and export markets.
Industrial value runs from mother rutab through pitted, vacuum and cube formats to syrup, paste, syrup concentrates and by-products from pits and sorting waste—each tier needs distinct technology and buyer segments.

Processing plants & complementary industry
Harvest & pre-cooling
Immediate orchard-to-pre-cooler moves in peak summer heat; delays trigger souring and sugaring.
Optical sorting
Sabzavaran Afatob and Amin Amiri lines grade by weight, size, moisture and skin integrity before final pack.
Pitting & derivatives
Razmi’s 275 t line and Vis Jiroft convert sub-lux rutab into syrup, paste and cubes for health-oriented channels.
Storage −5 to +5 °C
Chaharfasl, Shahrokhi and Shadab cold rooms hold RH-controlled inventory to halt sugar hydrolysis.
Jiroft Food Industries (since 2000) runs industrial syrup lines; Vis Jiroft and Sabzavaran Diyar Kerman add pasteurised syrup and paste capacity.
Grading, sorting & packaging formats
| Format | Weight / spec | Target market | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Telescopic carton | 550–750 g retail / 8–10 kg mother | Domestic bazaar | Low cost; moisture-sensitive |
| IML airtight tub | 250–800 g | Gulf, Russia, China retail | Moisture lock; high mould cost |
| Heat-shrink vacuum | 400–1000 g | Long-haul export | Stops fermentation; crush risk on soft rutab |
| 5–10 kg bulk | Repack & bulk export | Processors | Lowest price; weak origin branding |
Saray Pack Jiroft supplies moisture-resistant 3/5-ply and laminated cartons, reducing cross-province box purchases.
Cold chain & refrigerated logistics

Land tenure & grower institutions
Kesht va Sanat Jiroft operates 4,400+ ha of land including 170 ha of dedicated palms (~1,200 t of mixed dates) while the rural co-ops union coordinates 15 village co-ops on state-backed Mazafati offtake to stabilise farm-gate prices.
Summer grid outages and cardboard stored inside cold rooms have raised fire risk; fire-rated panels and backup generators are now baseline for Afatob and Shadab facilities.

International trade & export consortia
A significant share of Jiroft Mazafati is re-packed under Bam labels after sorting; the South Kerman Chamber push on GIs and 18 southern export brands aims to restore origin identity.
Consortia such as Tejarat Gostar Chamak and Novin Tejarat Darat move refrigerated containers to India, China, Russia and the Gulf.
Bottlenecks & development outlook
Priority fixes: backup power and fire-safe insulation for cold stores in 50°C summers, harvest-season working capital via the rural co-ops union, and IML retail packs with traceability to anchor the Jiroft brand against Bam re-packing.
