Iran’s Annual Pomegranate Cultivation and Production
Iran dominates global pomegranate output, delivering over 1.5 million metric tons per year. The country’s unique climate with hot, dry summers and cool winters creates ideal conditions for pomegranate orchards to thrive.
Major pomegranate farmlands exist across the Iranian provinces of Tehran, Saveh, Qazvin, and Yazd. Markazi province contains the maximum area under pomegranate cultivation, harboring over 66,000 hectares of fruit orchards.
August through November constitutes peak pomegranate harvest season in Iran. The fruits achieve maximum ripeness during this period, ensuring high sweetness and juice content. Most fresh pomegranates get sold domestically or exported globally to meet the surging demand. The remainder undergoes processing into pomegranate juice, concentrates, jams, vinegar, or powders.

Benefits of Pomegranate Juice Concentrates
Pomunaco’s pomegranate juice concentrates deliver all the super fruit’s scientifically-proven health advantages including:
- Powerful Anti-Inflammatory Action Pomegranates contain antioxidant compounds like anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and punicalagins offering exceptional anti-inflammatory activity. Studies confirm daily intake of just a few ounces of juice concentrate strongly suppresses inflammatory biomarkers.
- Boosts Heart Health The anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and nitric oxide-enhancing effects improve cardiovascular function substantially. Pomegranate juice concentrates reduce hypertension risk, curb LDL oxidation, maintain arterial elasticity for better blood flow.
- Anti-Cancer and Anti-Tumor Properties Test tube and animal research demonstrates pomegranate concentrate’s ability to inhibit prostate, colon, lung, and skin cancer cells. The antioxidants and plant compounds like ellagitannins appear to trigger cancer cell death pathways and restrict blood supply to malignant tumors.
- Guards Against Neurodegenerative Disorders Pomegranate phytonutrients exhibit neuroprotective effects against Alzheimer’s disease and age-related cognitive decline. Studies indicate older adults drinking pomegranate juice daily show tangible enhancements in memory, learning, focus, and concentration capacities.
- Youthful Skin and UV Ray Protection Applying pomegranate seed oil or juice topically shields skin from sun damage while stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity delays premature aging and wrinkles for a lasting youthful glow.

With health-conscious consumers increasingly seeking functional beverages packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and rich flavor, pomegranate concentrate demand is surging exponentially across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
Iran Dominates Pomegranate Concentrate Production

US and Europe – Top Pomegranate Juice Importers

The US sources most pomegranate juice from Turkey, Iran, Armenia, and India catering to robust domestic consumption. Europe also heavily depends on imported Iranian and Turkish pomegranate juices and concentrates to meet strong regional demand as local European output remains inadequate.
As health and wellness product significance grows, pomegranate juices and concentrates should continue solidifying their position as mainstay functional ingredients across the global F&B sector.
