Tehran County in the frozen pea & sweet-corn chain
Individual quick freezing links farms, processors, cold stores and dense urban demand. Frozen peas and sweet corn anchor household baskets, HoReCa and meat/ready-meal plants.
Raw crops mostly come from Khuzestan, Golestan, Fars and Qazvin; packaging, imports, wholesale and last-mile cold distribution concentrate in Greater Tehran.

HoReCa vs retail demand
| Metric | HoReCa & industry | Household retail |
|---|---|---|
| Typical pack | 10–25 kg cartons | 300–900 g retail |
| Top SKU | Super-sweet corn | Peas & tri-veg blend |
| Buying criteria | Price/kg, mouthfeel after heat | Brand, clean kernels, no frost |
| Channel | Shourabad, Anbar Naft, terminal | Etka, Shahrvand, Ofogh chains |
Any break above −18°C in traffic or store cabinets causes clumping, shrivelled pods and lost corn crunch.
Cold-chain risks & outlook
Cold-chain breaks, FX swings and imported seed/pack inputs squeeze margins; the market keeps shifting from canned veg to IQF packs and tri-veg blends in the capital.
