Kermanshah County Chickpea Producers & Processors | Iranco
Single-kernel to falafel grades, Zagros and Farawan parks, Dolatabad wholesale hub and a directory of 20 active units
Kermanshah County chickpea guide—Kambaden, Khodayari, Okado, Rojin, Zarabi seed, Dolatabad and Kouzaran—with grade tables, laser-sort chain and Iraq export analysis.
Kermanshah County in Iran’s chickpea supply chain
Kermanshah Province allocates 150,000+ hectares to pulses and harvests 110,000+ tonnes of chickpeas annually—national leadership. Kermanshah County anchors rain-fed belts in Kouzaran and Mahidasht, secondary processing, calibration, canning and export routing for this strategic crop.
National benchmark pricing and mechanical/laser grade standardization occur in trading centers and plants based here; B2B sourcing requires a curated directory of active firms.

Market dynamics and strategic bottlenecks
The shift from 50 kg jute bulk sales at origin to advanced processing retains sorting margins locally. Demand for stew-ready canned chickpeas and falafel derivatives monetizes sub-7 mm calibers once considered off-grade.
Dolatabad’s Elafan wholesale row (2nd/3rd Elafan St., 45-meter Blvd.) is the cash-settlement heart of Iran’s chickpea trade—hundreds of desks, depots and weighbridge docks operate in the urban core.
Challenges and development outlook
Export policy uncertainty, spring rain-fed drought exposure, manual harvest cost and limited MAP packaging at origin; completing the western logistics village and plant-protein parks would cement regional hub status.
- Scale fall sowing with Anna, Adel and Mansouri cultivars and Zarabi certified seed for combine harvest.
- Invest in MAP packs and digital links between Dolatabad cross-docks and commodity exchange infrastructure.
- Stable export quotas coordinated by the National Chickpea Council and the Ministry of Agriculture.
