Overview

Iran has a well-established and functional local food market that can respond to the needs of the consumers and also facilitates the export of food. The local supply chain of food is well-functional but it is traditional and amount of the waste is quite high. Given the available supply chain in the country, in times of emergency, the requested food can be supplied from the local market and even in the time of the COVID lock down, Iran was one of the countries that did not face any shortages of food items in the markets. It should be noted that as the main part of the food chain in Iran is working with small businesses that are working traditionally with low capacity, in the time of emergency the whole sellers are usually the best option to acquire the requested items in a short time.
