Our Supply Chain in Iran
We are developing our rose supply chain in Iran, in the Fars region, at the foot of the Zagros Mountains, at an altitude of over 1,900 metres. This area offers strong potential for rose cultivation thanks to its particularly favourable natural conditions.
Historically, the lack of modern infrastructure in this remote region meant that growers had to rely on traditional distillation methods or process their harvest into dried rose petals and buds.
To structure the supply chain and fully realise its potential, we have established strong partnerships with local growers, based on both long-term commercial agreements and joint investments. Rose cultivation in these regions naturally follows organic practices while supporting the local economy.
The rose bushes are traditionally rain-fed and receive no fertilisers. The high altitude, which can exceed 2,500 metres, helps limit the development of diseases and contributes to the quality of the flowers.
As part of our commitment to greater control and continuous improvement, we began construction of a modern distillery near Shiraz in 2016, designed to be scalable and compliant with applicable standards.
Six stills are currently in operation, enabling the production of more than 200 tonnes of hydrosol per season. This capacity is expected to increase to over 600 tonnes with the addition of new equipment.
Today, the certified supply chain brings together around fifty growers and covers approximately 200 hectares of rose fields, reflecting the gradual and structured development of this activity.
Our Rose-Based Products
Hydrosol
Rose hydrosol is one of our main products. Obtained through distillation, it stands out for its purity and high concentration of aromatic compounds. It is available either unfiltered or filtered and can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of the cosmetics and food industries.
Essential Oil
Rose essential oil is produced in smaller quantities. Highly concentrated, it is valued for its aromatic properties and intensity, particularly for use in aromatherapy and phytotherapy.
Dried Rose Petals
Dried rose petals provide an additional way to make use of the harvest. They retain the flower’s natural characteristics and are used in cosmetics, herbal infusions, and food processing.
Dried Rose Buds
Dried rose buds are selected for their visual quality and integrity before the flowers bloom. They are particularly valued for decorative purposes, herbal infusions, and certain premium applications.
Whole Dried Rose Flowers
Whole rose flowers are carefully harvested after blooming and then dried to preserve their shape, colour, and natural qualities.
