Frozen strawberry value chain in Behnamir
Behnamir district in Babolsar County is a strategic strawberry hub on Iran’s Caspian plain; magnesium-rich alluvial soils support intense colour and IQF-friendly texture.
Despite multi-thousand-tonne capacity, the lack of in-zone IQF tunnels shifts freezing margins to neighbouring provinces and players such as Nilanil and Golnan Puratos.
Cold-chain product taxonomy

IQF technology workflow
Field harvest & de-stemming
Sabrina and Camarosa at peak Brix; rapid transfer to sorting.
Sort & calibrate
Industrial grades; reject soft and mould-risk fruit.
Pre-cooling
Core temperature near 0°C before the tunnel.
IQF below −35°C
Fluidised-bed tunnel limits ice crystals and cell rupture.
Inspection & packing
Metal detection; export frozen cartons or bulk totes.
Sub-zero storage
Hold until dispatch to dairy, ice cream and bakery plants.
Geographic & infrastructure matrix
| Ось | Сады | Холод / переработка | Рынок |
|---|---|---|---|
| Behnamir coastal plain | 800–1,000 ha strawberries | Local sorting hubs | Premium raw origin |
| Mirud industrial zone | — | Packing, no dedicated IQF | Limited in-zone processing |
| Qaemshahr–Babolsar road | — | Mersad cold complex | Pre-cool & storage |
| Farahabad / Arabkhil | Sabrina blocks | Ghobadi sort & chill | Aggregation for external IQF |
| Golestan / Amol plants | — | Central IQF lines | Value-added capture |
Supply-chain structural gaps
Peak harvest in Ordibehesht coincides with heat stress, farm-gate price crashes and broker dominance; roughly 90% of volume leaves without standard pre-cooling.
Golnan Puratos links its 70% strawberry toppfill to Behnamir farms; Nilanil sources a major share of its IQF line from Babolsar and Behnamir growers.
Without an IQF tunnel in Mirud industrial zone, added value and cash flow leak to Tehran, Alborz and Golestan processors.
Cold storage & industrial footprint
Mirud hosts Behdaneh packaging and can plants but no integrated IQF tunnel; Mersad and Ghobadi provide sorting, pre-cool and dual-temperature storage.

Market structure & trade flows
Sorted Behnamir fruit is aggregated through private sort houses and shipped to IQF plants in Tehran, Alborz, Golestan and Amol; secondary processing profit is booked outside the origin district.
Strategic outlook
A fluidised-bed IQF tunnel in Mirud, upgraded pre-coolers at Mersad/Ghobadi and a unified growers’ cooperative would close the missing freezing loop and open freeze-dried export lanes to Eurasia and the Gulf.
Summary
Behnamir delivers 15–20 thousand tonnes of premium strawberries annually; capturing IQF value locally is key to stabilising grower income.
