Sirjan County Round (Fandoqi) Pistachio Producers | Iranco
Ohadi cultivar, Sirjan SSEZ, 14+ export plants and 180 hulling terminals across Zeydabad and Jalalabad
B2B guide to Sirjan Fandoqi pistachios — 50k ha orchards, directory of Bonyad Tooka, Mehr, Navid SNP, Matin MPH, SSEZ and rail lane to Bandar Shahid Rajaee.
Fandoqi (Ohadi) cultivar in Sirjan’s ecosystem
Round Fandoqi pistachio — classified as Ohadi — is the highest-volume commercial cultivar on Iran’s central plateau: spherical nuts, 28–36 count grades and 55–60% unsaturated fat. In Sirjan County it occupies more than half of bearing orchard area; ~1,780 m elevation, cool winters and dry summers stabilise export counts at 28–32. This report maps Fandoqi processing, the SSEZ/industrial-park matrix, export plants and wet-hulling terminals.
Technical indices & product taxonomy

|---|---|---|
| Morphology | Round, light cream shell | Screen & colour-sort lines |
| Dominant counts | 28–30, 30–32, 32–34, 34–36 | Large: snack export; small: cracking |

Geoeconomics & logistics backbone
Sirjan holds 50–58k ha of pistachio orchards (33–55k ha bearing) with 22–35k t harvest — Iran’s second hub after Rafsanjan–Anar. 180+ hygienic hulling terminals bridge orchards and export packing.
| Hub | Infrastructure edge | Fandoqi chain link |
|---|---|---|
| Sirjan SSEZ | Customs 50602, rail sheds, IR SRJ | Sort, vacuum, derivatives, container export |
| Industrial parks 1 & 2 | Colour sorters & optical lines | Cracking, granules, cartons |
| Zeydabad | Dense orchards & brokerage | Primary hulling & smiling |
| Ebrahimabad / Sabzdasht | Mechanised irrigation & central sort | Bulk harvest & aflatoxin tests |
| Najafshahr, Jalalabad, Khajushahr | Field-side terminals | Wet hull, drying, moisture control |
Market dynamics & industrial processes (5 themes)
Water stress & salinity
Fandoqi genetics plus pressurised irrigation at mega-estates such as Sirjan Bonyad lift water productivity and split stability.
Shell to optical kernel
Closed-shell lots move through roller crackers and optical sorters — up to ~35% value uplift vs in-shell bulk (Matin Homayoun, Pedideh, Dasht Sabz).
EU & China aflatoxin rules
Closed shell protects kernels; cracking lines feed export-grade green kernels.
SSEZ rail to Bandar Shahid Rajaee
~300 km to port; <48 h vessel loading cited for Tootia and Emerald exporters.
Fandoqi as price benchmark
Round cultivar anchors spot and commodity-exchange trades vs luxury long types such as Akbari.

Market analysis & export risk
Sirjan exporters focus on economic 30–32 counts and industrial kernels for Europe and East Asia; dry hulling protocols and cracking capacity are the next upgrade cycle.
Dedicated customs at Sirjan SSEZ (code 50602, ID IR SRJ) accelerates Fandoqi exports with covered warehouses and rail loading to Bandar Shahid Rajaee.
Strategic synthesis
Sirjan evolved from a traditional single-crop belt into a layered, mechanised Fandoqi hub — Sirjan Bonyad, co-ops and private optical-sort plants reinforce the chain.
Commercial outlook hinges on modern wet terminals, expanded cracking for green kernels, and maximising SSEZ clearance speed.
