Eqlid Sugar Production and Industrial Company

Long term operation of the factory coupled with the need to procure raw material along with the resources and facilities at disposal of the company, have led to expansion of factory's operations beyond extraction and production of white sugar.

Cultivation of Sugar Beet

Since the establishment of factory in 1966, various pieces of land in different locations have been acquired and sugar beet has been cultivated in those lands as raw material for the factory. The excess requirement of sugar beet is sourced from farmers in different areas such as Eqlid, Qaderabad, Saadatshahr, Abadeh, Kermanshah, Azerbaijan, Khuzestan, Kazerun, Darab, etc.

During recent years, company’s experts have raised farmer’s awareness, resolve their issues and increased cultivation productivity per hectare. Factor has played its role to support the farmers by supplying seeds, fertilizers and pesticides as well as assistance in the form of equipment for mechanized harvest of the produce.

Orchards

More than 140 hectares of land around the factory have been allocated to cultivation of fruit trees like walnut, almond and apple and also damask rose has been planted on 20 hectares of land.

Products from these orchards are offered in highest quality to customers around the country. Given the problems in supply of water within the region, company has tried its best to utilize modern technologies like dripping to water all the orchards.
