Challenges & outlook
Over 85% of capacity relies on imported crude; quota gaps and administered retail pricing push wholesalers toward 16 kg frying tins and bulk HORECA supply.
Ansari & Molavi Streets are the wholesale oil hub for Zanjan, Gilan and northern Iran.
Strategic synthesis
- Bulk supply: contracts with Zeytoon Talaei and Chashtpasand on the Qazvin–Rasht corridor; northern port crude intake.
- HORECA: 16 kg tins and bulk from Ansari row and distributors Rana & Tolou Aftab.
- Retail packs: Vispo, Honita and Mahak brands with local Liya–Caspian PET.
- Resilience: contract sunflower seed on the Qazvin plain and fortified high-value lines.
