Urmia: Middle East hub for apple puree & concentrate
Urmia County’s 20,000+ hectares of apple orchards anchor West Azerbaijan production and Iran’s largest apple puree and apple juice concentrate cluster. Each autumn 250–350 thousand tonnes of industrial fruit feed vacuum evaporators and pulp lines; more than 60% of national conversion capacity sits in this corridor.
Brix and suspended fibre are the two core variables classifying apple concentrate and puree for downstream food lines.

Business models & by-product valorisation
Vertical integrators such as Pakdis and Arom Narin run orchard-to-retail packs while surplus concentrate serves B2B and export.
Specialist B2B plants — Shahdaab, Tatao, Orum Spoota, Sib Tak, Pars Faravar — optimise bulk aseptic drums and feed national beverage, dairy and confectionery lines.
Dried apple pomace feeds pectin extraction and pelletised animal feed, closing the circular economy loop around Urmia orchards.
Exports, constraints & outlook
Core destinations: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Armenia, Iraq and the Gulf; Urmia’s border position supports concentrate and puree exports.
FX settlement rules, autumn working-capital peaks and non-insulated transit raise HMF and colour risk on long-haul loads.
Multi-stage washing and optical sorting on Urmia lines underpin patulin compliance for global B2B buyers.
Vacuum aroma recovery, organic puree lines and orchard CA stores can extend the crush season and shift exports beyond bulk 70°Bx concentrate.
