Ziba Foods LLC Sustainability Actions

In-country processing facility

Ziba Foods was incorporated in 2015 by four, like-minded American and Afghan partners. Their first goal was to set up one of the first fully-certified processing facilities in the Afghan capital, Kabul to sort, clean, grade and pack bulk products for international wholesalers.

Supports Afghan women

One of Ziba’s core missions is to empower the people in the communities where we operate, with a specific focus on helping Afghan women. Ziba’s workforce at its Kabul facility is predominantly female. Ziba employees not only receive full-time employment and earn above a living wage, but they also have access to English lessons and are taught the skills necessary to work with the modern machinery in the factory.

Sources from family farms

By working directly with family farms and village cooperatives to source true heirloom fruit and nut varieties, Ziba presents only the highest-quality agricultural products, many of which are grown wild.

Uses wild-grown produce

In Afghanistan, the majority of the pistachios grow on un-owned land. Provincial governments set annual quotas and allow each village to harvest set amounts. The families either sell the pistachios to the local cooperative or use them at home. No one tends to the trees, which grow wild on mountainsides. Mulberry trees also grow wild or are planted each year by people as an act of goodwill.
