2.7 Iran Milling Assessment
Home

Overview

The Government Trading Corporation (GTC) is in control of grain and flour production and importation in Iran. It gives the standards for quality and controls the products. (A staple diet in Iran is bread.) The overall milling capacity is able to cope with the requirements of the country. In addition, there is an overcapacity already built. Wheat flourmills are situated in wheat production regions and close to transit entry points, such as ports. In Ahwaz, 167 km from the Bandar Imam Khomeini port, there are four mills and near Bandar Abbas are also three mills. The whole country's milling capacity is 30 million mt per year. These mills produced last year 15.5 million mt of wheat flour. That performance can be increased according to demand.
