Tehran County in the sunflower oil value chain
Tehran County combines refining corridors (Fath, Rey, Qods), holding HQs (Mirdamad, Eram, Valiasr) and Molavi–Khayyam wholesale banking. GTC routes Black Sea and South American crude into local refineries while ten-million-strong demand accelerates fortified and palm-free frying grades.

Market structure and competition
The market is oligopolistic: Koorosh (~16%), Behshahr (~15%) and Tabiat Sabz (~9%) control over 40% of national share; pricing, FX and campaigns are steered from Mirdamad, Fath and Eram. Crude import dependence links Molavi wholesale prices to GTC quotas and geopolitical risk.
Outlook and operational guidance
Commercial success requires overlapping modern chains (Behpakhsh, Ghasem Iran) with Molavi/Khayyam traditional banking; cold-press players such as Verjen serve health-oriented niches.
Bulk buyers: Fath and Rey refineries for tonnage; Molavi market and Oil20 for fast pallet dispatch; Koorosh and Tabiat HQs for fortified brands.
Strategic synthesis
- Bulk supply: align GTC quotas with direct contracts at Behshahr, Margarin and Noosh Azar on the Fath axis.
- HORECA: 16 kg tins via Molavi, Khayyam and Oil20 wholesalers for restaurants and bakeries.
- Retail brands: Oila, Tabiat and Ladan through Behpakhsh capillary networks.
- Health segment: Verjen and D3/A fortified lines for diet and child nutrition shelves.
