Shabnam Sahar Alvand Company

Introduction

To enhance the quality of products offered by Sahar Food Industries, Shabnam Sahar Alvand Agricultural Processing Industries was established with the goal of improving the quality of raw materials and agricultural products entering Sahar’s production chain. In line with this mission, Shabnam Sahar is committed to providing technical and engineering services to contracted farmers, greenhouse operators, and other agricultural stakeholders. Sahar Food Industries identifies skilled farmers and prioritizes regions with high agricultural potential. By offering training to these valued producers, Sahar ensures that the agricultural products entering its facilities meet its high standards for quality.

Mission of Shabnam Sahar Company

The oversight and training programs designed by the holding company for Shabnam Sahar are primarily conducted through group-based methods, including educational seminars, training classes, ongoing face-to-face instruction at farms, and virtual platforms. This approach provides an effective pathway for informing and educating farmers, contributing to the ongoing enhancement of product quality.

In addition, Shabnam Sahar collaborates with national organizations and universities to conduct scientific and applied research and share research findings, aiming to enhance the knowledge level of farmers and partners in the sector. In recent years, these collaborations have extended to institutions such as Bu-Ali Sina University in Hamedan, Razi University in Kermanshah, the Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center of Hamedan Province, and the Agricultural Jihad Management of both Hamedan Province and Malayer County, among others, at various intervals.

Another achievement of Shabnam Sahar has been establishing effective connections with local orchardists and providing them with technical and educational services. The results of this effort are evident in Sahar’s sourcing of cherries and sour cherries from regions like Malayer and Darreh Morad Beyg.

Activities of Shabnam Sahar Company

Collaboration with agricultural input suppliers, especially seed providers, has led to effective solutions for improving quality and productivity. For example, Shabnam Sahar prioritizes different tomato varieties to ensure optimal types for various products, such as tomato paste, peeled tomato preserves, and diced tomato cans. Additionally, developing optimal and health-focused plant nutrition formulations and promoting these among farmers has been a key objective for Shabnam Sahar, yielding significant results over recent years.

Shabnam Sahar Alvand’s ongoing activities include producing key agricultural products such as sweet corn, jalapeño peppers, pinto beans, and sunflowers. Additionally, through cultivating new and diverse crops—including peppers, corn, tomatoes, and prickly cucumbers—in its research farms and analyzing the impact of various factors on their growth and productivity, Shabnam Sahar has laid the groundwork for comprehensive study of these crops in Sahar's Research and Development (R&D) unit.

The collaboration between Shabnam Sahar and Sahar's R&D unit facilitates product development, quality enhancement, and increased production efficiency. With God's blessings and the tireless dedication of our staff, we are committed to advancing our goals and positioning our beloved country as a leader on the global stage within the food industry.
