Vegetable-oil & industrial-fat ecosystem in Tehran Province
Tehran anchors national trading decisions, capital flows and Iran’s largest food retail basin. Refining, hydrogenation, interesterification and packing cluster on the Fath freeway, Rey, Varamin and zones such as Abbasabad and Parand, while oilseeds arrive from northern farms and crude oil from southern ports.
Three geographic chain hubs
Fath freeway & Rey
Behshahr and Margarin refineries plus strategic fat tanks.
Varamin & Pakdasht
Etka crushing, Tak Oliva olive and Nikmanesh tallow.
Tehran & Molavi
Anbar Naft wholesale, Kourosh HQs and Lashgari FMCG.

Logistics, wholesale & capillary FMCG
Three channels balance supply: Molavi/Anbar Naft for 16–17 kg frying tins and pastry shortening; Lashgari-corridor distributors for PET bottles; and annual B2B contracts for industrial margarine and wafer fats from Behshahr, Margarin and Puratos to bakeries and confectionery lines.
Any shift in bulk deliveries from major refineries immediately moves cash and forward prices on Irevani Street and Razi Square; modern distributors cover 35,000+ Tehran retail points weekly.
Structural challenges & strategic outlook
Import dependence on seeds and crude oil, trans-fat caps below 1% retail and 2% industrial, and unlicensed cold-press workshops are pushing capital into interesterification, high-oleic blends and mechanized tallow packing around the capital.
Iranco connects you with refiners, cold-press units and Molavi wholesalers.
