Mashhad County fresh chicken ecosystem
Supply, industrial processing and trade of whole fresh chicken in Mashhad County follow among Iran’s most complex poultry logistics patterns, driven by the metropolis’s population and pilgrimage role. Slaughter capacity must absorb sudden demand spikes during religious seasons, holidays and hotel peaks.
Khorasan Razavi produces roughly 95–136 thousand tonnes of chicken meat annually; most slaughter, sorting and chain consolidation occurs in Mashhad and its periphery. Supply runs on night slaughter and morning capillary distribution.
Any cold-chain break above 0–4 °C raises drip loss and microbial load; Mashhad fleets require digital thermographs and veterinary transport certificates.

Chicken paw exports & East Asia
With periodic bans on fresh carcass exports, Mashhad plants focus on frozen paws—multi-stage washing, 65–70 °C scalding, IR hygiene codes for China and Vietnam; Sefidkhani and Behesht are lead exporters.
Challenges & strategic outlook
The main friction is mandated retail pricing vs feed costs; pilgrimage peaks pull carcasses from Torbat Heydariyeh and Sabzevar. Paw exports to China stabilize plant margins; sized-bird SKUs and Mactoos/Tootak retail modernize distribution.
