30+ years of excellence in dried fruits processing and export — 5 offices across Afghanistan, UAE, Turkey, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, serving global markets with ISO 22000, BRC and Kosher certified quality
Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD (Jamshid Ramin Dry Fruits Processing & Packaging Co) is a leading international trading company specializing in the processing, packaging and export of premium quality dried fruits, pulses, seeds and agricultural products. With more than 30 years of experience in the dried fruits market, the company has established itself as one of the most respected and reliable suppliers in the Central Asian and Middle Eastern agricultural export sector. The company was founded with the vision of connecting the rich agricultural resources of Afghanistan and the broader Central Asian region with international markets, and has grown from a local trading operation into a multinational enterprise with offices and processing facilities spanning five countries across two continents.
The company's operational headquarters is located in Mazar-e-sharif, Afghanistan, strategically positioned in the heart of Afghanistan's northern agricultural belt — one of the country's most productive regions for dried fruits, nuts and other agricultural commodities. From this base, Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD has expanded its commercial reach through a network of international branch offices in Dubai (UAE), Istanbul (Turkey), Samarqand (Uzbekistan) and Shymkent (Kazakhstan). This multi-country presence enables the company to manage the complete supply chain — from sourcing raw materials directly from farms in Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, through processing and quality control at its own factories, to international sales, export documentation and logistics coordination through its Dubai and Istanbul offices. The Turkey branch in particular serves as a key export hub, leveraging Turkey's advanced logistics infrastructure and trade agreements to facilitate efficient distribution to European, Middle Eastern and global markets.
Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD operates its own processing and packaging factory in Samarqand, Uzbekistan, equipped with the newest technological production lines that meet the requirements of ISO 22000:2018, HACCP International Food Safety System and BRC Version 8 standards, all compliant with European norms. The processing plant is outfitted with modern quality control technology including laser scanners, x-ray scanners and metal detectors, operated by a highly experienced quality assurance staff. The company is also Kosher certified, reflecting its commitment to meeting the diverse regulatory and cultural requirements of its international customer base across Muslim, Jewish and global markets.
Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD operates a strategically distributed network of five offices and one processing factory across five countries, enabling seamless coverage of the complete value chain from farm-gate sourcing to international export delivery. Each office serves a specific functional role within the company's global operations.
Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD offers a comprehensive range of agricultural products organized into four major categories. The company sources raw materials directly from farms in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and other Central Asian countries, then processes, packages and exports these products under strict quality control systems at its ISO 22000 and BRC certified facility in Samarqand. By maintaining a wide product range, Jamshid Ramin positions itself as a single-source supplier for international buyers seeking diverse agricultural commodities from the Central Asian and Middle Eastern regions, reducing the need for buyers to coordinate with multiple suppliers across different countries and product categories.

Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD has made quality assurance and food safety the cornerstone of its business operations. The company's processing and packaging operations are designed and managed in full compliance with international food safety management system standards, ensuring that every product leaving the factory meets the exacting requirements of global food safety regulations. The company's commitment to quality is demonstrated by its portfolio of internationally recognized certifications and its investment in advanced quality control technology that goes well beyond the minimum requirements of the markets it serves.
The company holds ISO 22000:2018 certification, the international standard for food safety management systems. This certification demonstrates that Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD has implemented a systematic approach to controlling food safety hazards, from raw material sourcing through processing, packaging and delivery. The ISO 22000:2018 standard integrates the principles of HACCP with prerequisite programs and management system elements, providing a comprehensive framework that ensures food safety throughout the entire supply chain. This certification is particularly important for European and Gulf markets that require documented food safety management systems from their suppliers.
BRC (British Retail Consortium) Version 8 certification is one of the most demanding and widely recognized food safety standards in the global retail industry. Achieving BRC certification demonstrates that Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD meets the stringent quality and safety requirements expected by major British and European retailers. The BRC standard covers food safety, quality management, factory environment standards, product control, process control and personnel hygiene. This certification is essential for supplying private label products to UK and European supermarket chains, and it signals to international buyers that the company's production facility, processes and products have been independently audited and verified to the highest industry standards.
The company operates in full compliance with the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) International Food Safety System. HACCP is a systematic preventive approach to food safety that identifies physical, chemical and biological hazards throughout the production process and establishes critical control points to monitor and control these hazards. Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD's HACCP implementation covers every stage of production — from receiving and inspecting raw materials, through cleaning, sorting, grading, processing, packaging and storage — ensuring that potential food safety risks are identified, monitored and controlled before products reach the customer. The HACCP system is complemented by the company's investment in advanced inspection technology including laser scanners, x-ray scanners and metal detection systems.
Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD holds Kosher certification, confirming that its products and production processes comply with Jewish dietary laws (Kashrut). This certification is important for accessing markets with significant Jewish populations, particularly Israel and North America, and is also valued by many Muslim and health-conscious consumers who recognize Kosher certification as an additional indicator of production cleanliness, ingredient purity and quality control rigor. The Kosher certification for a dried fruits and nuts company primarily concerns the absence of non-Kosher processing aids, the use of approved cleaning and sanitation procedures, and the assurance that no cross-contamination occurs with non-Kosher products during processing and packaging operations.
Beyond certification compliance, Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD has invested in state-of-the-art quality control equipment at its Samarqand processing facility. The plant is equipped with laser scanners that use optical technology to detect and remove foreign materials, discolored products and defective items with exceptional precision and speed. X-ray scanners provide internal inspection capability, detecting foreign objects that may be hidden inside or within products — such as stones, glass, dense plastics or bone fragments — that cannot be identified by visual inspection or surface scanning alone. Metal detection systems provide a final safety layer, identifying and rejecting any metallic contamination (ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel) that may have been introduced during harvesting, transportation or processing. This three-layer inspection approach — laser, x-ray and metal detection — operated by a highly experienced quality assurance team, ensures that Jamshid Ramin Co. LTD's products meet the most demanding quality and safety requirements of international food retailers and regulatory authorities.
