About the cluster
For about a decade, the cluster development model has been used in Iran by the Small Industries Organization for the development of micro and small industrial units, and so far it has achieved good results in different provinces of the country.
Hazelnut
The kernel obtained by separating the brown skin of the hazelnut is called the hazelnut kernel, which is brown in color.
Hazelnut oil

Ministry of Jihad statistics
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad, the area under hazelnut cultivation in the province is about 17 thousand hectares and the production is about 11 thousand tons. On the other hand, most of the hazelnut growing areas of the province are located in the heights of Ashkorat, and about 90% of the area under hazelnut cultivation is found in these areas.
Production hazelnuts
Most of the hazelnuts that are cultivated in Iran, especially in Gilan province, are native genotypes that have not been researched and have lower performance compared to the available commercial cultivars.
Hazelnut production pole
One of the main hubs of hazelnut production in the country is Gilan province. However, Gilan province does not have a good performance in the field of hazelnut production, so that the average yield is lower than the global average, and in some old orchards, the yield is very low.
One of the successful models of development in small and medium industries
As a new industrial development strategy, it has attracted the attention of planners and policy makers in industrialized and developing countries.
Industrial Cluster Development. The main feature of this strategy compared to other development strategies is that they have the ability to become indigenous and homogenize with local and regional norms. According to UNIDO s definition, a cluster is a group of companies that are concentrated in a geographical area or field and face common threats and opportunities. These companies produce and sell a set of related or complementary products. Such concentration creates related business and helps to create specialized services in technical, managerial and financial fields.
