Who we are
The house behind Pakistan’s favourite date
Balouch Foods International is a family-rooted export house in Therhi, Khairpur — the district that grows roughly nine out of ten Aseel dates in Pakistan. We are not traders working a season: we farm our own palms, run our own processing and packing lines, and hold over 5,000 tons of refrigerated storage, so the fruit we ship in February is as honest as the fruit we harvest in July.
That single fact — one house controlling the chain from palm to port — is why importers in more than 32 countries trust our containers to arrive graded, food-safe and on time.
