Wholesale, distribution & export
Molavi, Mohammadiyeh and south Tehran loading bays anchor vinegar and lime wholesale; Shourabad, Mehdiabad and Kahrizak tank farms serve national bulk buyers. Balsamic, date vinegar and verjuice from Qarchak, Shamsabad and Safadasht export to Iraq, the Caucasus and the Gulf.
Qarchak and Adib units sit at the Mohammadiyeh–Molavi wholesale credit hub for national condiment cash trade.
Market outlook & trends
Clean label, salt-free verjuice, probiotic apple vinegar and vacuum garlic paste for HoReCa define future competition; next-gen broth extracts without added MSG are emerging at Elite, Hoti Kara and Mahnam.
Linking Shamsabad, Safadasht, Nasirabad and Qarchak plants with south Tehran wholesale underpins scalable nationwide condiment supply.
