Bonab in southwest East Azerbaijan, linked to Malekan and Maragheh vineyards and Tabriz–Bonab logistics, processes 35–40k tonnes annually in plants and clears 60k+ tonnes of exports. Over 700 barns and 18+ modern factories cover lye dipping, sulphur curing, laser sorting and export cartons.
Plants cluster on Valayat Highway, the industrial zone and Shahriar complex; Bonab customs terminal and the grand dried-fruit market anchor pricing and input supply.

Strict EU SO₂ caps (1500–2000 mg/kg) steer sulphured golden raisins to Gulf, Russia and Iraq; Bonab plants run parallel sulphured and Sultana (non-sulphur) lines. Water limits shift grape sourcing to Zanjan, Qazvin, Hamedan and Malekan while industrial scale and barn skills remain the edge.
