Taftoon flatbread remains a core Iranian staple; Greater Tehran has shifted from hand-stretched tandoor bake to fully automated lines, MAP packs and whole-wheat sourdough SKUs.
Five segments — hot traditional, industrial flat, shelf-stable packs, high-bran and whole sourdough — split logistics between short-life DSD and modern retail.
| Type | Technical profile | Tehran go-to-market |
|---|---|---|

| Industrial flat line | Indirect tunnel oven, uniform gauge | Robat Karim & Malard plants |
| MAP packaged | Film, zip-lock, modified atmosphere | Supermarkets & e-grocery |
| High-bran | Lower extraction or added bran | Wellness & diet channels |
| Whole sourdough | Stone wholemeal, LAB starter | North Tehran premium bakeries |
Lactic acid to pH 4.5–4.8; phytase activation improves iron & zinc uptake.
Radiant heat without aromatic hydrocarbon uptake from open flame ovens.
HEPA air before packing to minimise ambient microbial load.
70% N₂ / 30% CO₂ multilayer film; shelf life up to three weeks.

The gap between subsidised craft flour and free-market industrial wheat pushes plants to compete on natural fermentation, MAP shelf life and nutrition — not price alone. Exports require non-subsidised grain bought via the commodity exchange export hall.
Export lines must document a fully non-subsidised wheat chain to clear West Tehran customs or Imam Khomeini Airport without subsidy-leak allegations.
