is the brand which Dasht Morghab Group, a leading
agro-industrial firm, has chosen for its processed
food products. Among dozens of major food industry
firms in Iran, Dasht Morghab (Morghab plains)
is undoubtedly the far most, biggest, and most
recognized concern. The establishment of this
company, in Iran in 1976 was in fact a turning
point for the country’s modern processed food
industry.

to existence with the construction of a plant
in Dasht Morghab region, an agriculturally fertile
area in the southern parts of the country (a
point 145-km from the Fars Province capital
of Shiraz-Esfahan road). The addition of three
other plants in the northern, eastern and western
parts of Iran made Dasht Morghab Group what
it is today: the processed food industry, biggest
complex in Iran. Iran is a country which takes
pride in having all the four seasons of a year
and a wide rang of climatic conditions plus
their corresponding agricultural corps. The
dispersion of the company’s plants in all parts
of Iran with different climatic has given it
the unique opportunity of having access to the
agricultural products of 14 out of 17 globally
recognized climatic conditions.
The history of Dasht Morghab Group is actually
synonymous with that of the modern
Processed food industry in Iran. Within a mere
decade after its establishment, the company
expanded its facilities to match those of the
decade the group had manage to gain a huge market
for its products, supplying about 95% of the
Iranian market’s canned dish food, 70% of canned
vegetables and 50% of tomato paste.
The Group has had steady growth since its establishment,
but since 1989 this growth has been substantial.
To the extent that the production has grown
from 15,000 metric tons per year in 1989 to
50,000 tons today. There are plans in progress
which when completed would double production
to 100,000 tons per annual.
