Afra Grain
Afra Grain was established with the purpose of providing commercial services and supporting all operations within the Afra Group.
The subsidiaries under this division include commercial companies, Bakhtar Grain Port Services Company (a mechanized system for loading and unloading), and Navid Tarabar Khalij Fars Company (active in road transportation). In the near future, shipping and multimodal transportation services will also be introduced.
Given the strategic importance of Imam Khomeini Port Special Economic Zone —which supplies over 70% of the country’s essential goods—the establishment of an integrated and mechanized terminal for loading and unloading goods, especially grains, is both vital and strategic.
