The Market
Mashhad is, with over three million inhabitants, the second largest city in Iran and the most important hub for food and food processing in Iran.
Some 880 companies are active in Razavi Khorasan Province, almost all of which (98 percent) are privately owned. New dairy plants, bakeries and meat processing factories use European technology, thereby setting the standards for food safety, waste minimization and packaging. The main regional products are flour, sunflower oil, canned fruits and vegetables, meat, bakery and dairy products, sugar, sweets, non-alcoholic beer, juice, soft drinks and convenience food. Due to growing local demand some Iranian producers of food processing machinery have set up production facilities in the region already.
