We say no when we should
If a batch does not meet your specification we tell you and delay, rather than substitute a grade and hope.
ABOUT ZARCHIN
A Sourcing Partner, Not Just a Supplier
Zarchin supplies saffron, nuts, dried fruits, seeds and spices to importers, manufacturers and private-label brands. We buy close to the source, control the processing and storage, and stay involved until the goods are with you.
- Direct from growing regions
- Own processing and storage
- Multi-origin sourcing
- Long-term partnerships
HOW WE WORK
What a partnership with us actually looks like
Planned supply, not spot buying
Forward planning against your forecast means fewer surprises when a season is short.
Written commitments
Specification, lead time and terms confirmed in writing before you commit.
One point of contact
The person who quotes your order is the person who follows it through delivery.
WHO WE ARE
Built around one product family, then widened
Zarchin began in saffron, in the Khorasan belt where most of the world's crop is grown, and widened into nuts, dried fruits, seeds and spices as buyers asked for more from one relationship. That order matters: we learned quality control on the most demanding product first, and applied it to everything after.
- Head office and processing in Mashhad, Iran
- Sourcing and quality control in Sarayan
- Commercial office in Tehran
- Regional partners across the UAE, India, China, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about working with us
Do you supply small first orders?
Yes. Most relationships start with a trial order, and we would rather you validate the product and our service at low risk than commit early.
Can we visit your facilities?
Yes, and we encourage it for larger programmes. Contact us and we will arrange a visit to the processing site and warehouse.
Do you work with agents or only directly?
Both. Tell us how you prefer to buy and we will work within it.
Start with a conversation
Tell us what you buy today and where it is falling short. That is usually a more useful first conversation than a price list.
