Other processed agricultural products, such as meals (soybean, rapeseed, sunflower), vegetable oils (crude and refined), vinegar, pickles, salted products, lemon juice, sour grape juice, and herbal syrups, play a significant role in the food industry, especially in domestic markets and exports.

Iran has a high capacity for producing vegetable oils from oilseeds like soybeans, rapeseed, and sunflower. The production of products such as vinegar, pickles, salted vegetables, and various herbal syrups is done using modern processing technologies and packaging methods. The production of lemon juice and sour grape juice also benefits from optimized techniques and proper packaging to ensure product quality.

These processed products not only add significant value to raw agricultural materials but also provide income for farmers and create numerous job opportunities in industrial and manufacturing sectors. The export of these products, particularly vinegar and herbal syrups, generates substantial foreign exchange for the country.

Iran holds a strong position, especially in exporting vegetable oils, oilcakes, pickles, vinegar, and herbal syrups to markets in the Middle East, Central Asia, Russia, and East Asia. These products are well-received in global markets due to their good quality, unique taste, and competitive pricing.

Iran’s competitive advantages include abundant oilseed resources, favorable climate for agricultural production, skilled labor, and low production costs. Improving processing methods, packaging standards, and brand development could further increase Iran’s share in global export markets.
