Isfahan Stone Fruit & Berry Producers Directory | Iranco
Cherry, plum and mulberry chains, IQF and freeze-dry; 28-county matrix and 21+ processing units database
B2B guide to Isfahan stone-fruit and berry processing — Semirom, Falavarjan, Kashan, Khansar; jam, concentrate, CA cold stores and IQF plants with company directory.
Geography and three production zones
Isfahan links Zagros foothill orchards, concentrated greenhouses and stone-fruit / berry processing clusters on the central plateau.
High Zagros (Semirom, Dehaqan, Shahreza) supplies plums and sour cherries plus origin cold storage; the Zayandeh Rud belt (Falavarjan to Mobarakeh) runs jam, syrup and IQF lines; north-west (Kashan, Khansar, Tiran) focuses on mulberry, Bukhara plum and hydroponic strawberry.

CA storage, IQF and freeze-drying
Pre-cooling and sorting
Cherries and sour cherries are sized and texture-graded immediately after harvest with rapid pre-cooling.
CA storage
1–2% O₂ and 2–3% CO₂ with ethylene scrubbing extends holding to over three months.
IQF freezing
−35 to −40°C fluid-bed tunnels freeze individual pieces in under 12 minutes.
Freeze-dry and dehydration
Vacuum sublimation yields export-grade crisps and granules with stable vitamin C.

Geographic coverage and market flow
The chain spans all 28 counties: foothills supply raw fruit, the centre hosts processing, and eastern districts act as transit hubs.
| County | Raw supply | Processing | Role | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Isfahan | East and west orchards | Ji Industrial Estate; jam and dried fruit | Trade and distribution hub | 100% |
| Falavarjan | Zazaran sour cherry | Sorting and syrup | Factory sour cherry supply | 100% |
| Kashan | Barzok mulberry | TTM concentrate | Pulp and export | 100% |
| Semirom | Stanley and Hungarian plum | Milad Dena, Sarli | Cold and concentrate | 100% |
| Mobarakeh | Freezing and drying | Anamius, Soltanian | Freeze-dry and IQF | 100% |

| Fereydonshahr | Wild raspberry | Village processing | Organic raspberry | 80% |
| Borkhar | White mulberry | Traditional syrup | Refrigeration equipment | 90% |
Semirom CA stores and Mobarakeh–Ji IQF tunnels have smoothed seasonal price swings for brands such as Asalat, Delkhah, Behkameh and Kamvar.
Strategic outlook
Growth rests on freeze-drying and anthocyanin recovery from waste, MAP export packs, and GI branding for Khansar plum, Falavarjan cherry and Barzok mulberry.
