Hamadan province produces 192,607 tons of apples annually, with Nahavand county being the hub for this product in the province, having about 5,000 hectares of apple orchards. It is predicted that this year, 140,000 tons of produce will be harvested from this capacity; however, the lack of sufficient capacity in the field of conversion and processing industries remains one of the missing links in the apple production chain of Nahavand.
