Market structure & barter
Tehran Central Fruit & Vegetable Market phases 1–2 set national apple prices for Damavand, Samiram and Urmia fruit flowing through Kahrizak and Shourabad cold corridors.
The apple-for-banana barter quota policy channels export liquidity into Damavand pre-financing and Shourabad cold-room leasing.
Outlook & bottlenecks
Protecting Absard–Jaban orchards, optical sorting in Damavand & Shahriar, and freeze-dry investment in Abbasabad & Nasirabad parks are the top upgrade levers.
