Saffron and Pistachios from Afghanistan: Certified Quality for the Global Market
Behind every batch of saffron and pistachios we deliver is a journey spanning thousands of kilometers: from the fields of Afghanistan to the laboratories in Dubai, and on to the warehouses of our clients in Europe, Asia, and South America.
From the Heart of Afghanistan to International Markets
Transforming a complex origin into a reliable flow of high-value-added products: this is our daily mission. We operate as a bridge between the rich Afghan agricultural traditions and the demands of the most sophisticated professional markets.
Our model is based on three fundamental pillars: direct sourcing from the best production areas, rigorous quality control in Dubai laboratories, and international logistics that ensure traceability and regulatory compliance at every stage.

Wild Afghan Pistachios (kernel)

Complete Certifications and Documentation
Each product is accompanied by a complete documentation package to facilitate import operations in destination markets.
Afghan Saffron: The Purple Heart of Herat
At dawn, in the fields around Herat, work begins before the sun is even high. The flowers of Crocus sativus must be harvested within a few hours, one by one, so that their aroma and color remain intact. It is a job that requires absolute precision: each flower is selected at the perfect moment of its bloom.
From this extreme manual labor comes our Super Negin saffron, the most prized grade available on the market. The stigmas are trimmed with traditional techniques that preserve the integrity of the product, maintaining the organoleptic properties that make Afghan saffron one of the most appreciated in the world.
Super Negin variety with long, uniform threads, exclusively hand-selected according to the highest international classification standards.

Afghan Pistachios: From Wild Tradition to Professional Supply Chain
Afghanistan is one of the historical cradles of the pistachio. In some remote areas, the trees still grow in an almost wild state, yielding a product with a unique and unmistakable character. In other areas, cultivation is more structured and suitable for significant industrial volumes.
We gather this natural wealth and put it through the filter of quality, certification, and professional logistics in Dubai. The result is a product that combines authenticity and reliability, suitable for those seeking artisanal excellence as well as those needing continuous supplies for large-scale production.
