Wholesale, storage & cross-border trade
Shourabad, Kahrizak and Mehdiabad anchor national staple warehousing; Saraye Omid on 15 Khordad and Molavi’s Khansari row set cash prices for Kermanshah chickpeas. Phase-2 produce terminal at Khaniabad feeds daily sorted lots, while Tehran trading desks route single- and two-grade export contracts via Mehran, Mirjaveh and Gulf ports.
Market trends & outlook
Shift from jute bulk to polymer packs and toll lines in Abbasabad/Kharazmi, millimetre grading and FX swings on Russian/Turkish imports shape Molavi’s daily board; integrated clean-to-MAP plants gain share.
Over 60% of heavy cleaning and storage sits in Rey and Pakdasht; bulk buyers favour toll contracts on Abbasabad lines with food-safety licensing.
