Domaines Zniber

What Domaines Zniber does

Domaines Zniber is a Moroccan agro-industrial group founded in 1956 by Brahim Zniber in Ait Harzallah, at the foot of the Middle Atlas Mountains, and currently operates as a subsidiary of Diana Holding. The company runs a fully integrated agricultural production system spanning R&D (including an In-Vitro laboratory for plant variety development), nursery production, cultivation, industrial processing, and marketing. Operations are distributed across six Moroccan production zones — Meknès, Berkane, Agadir, Moulay Bouselham, Saiss, and Grand Gharb — with leadership under second-generation President Rita Maria Zniber and a workforce in the 1,001–5,000 range.

The group produces a diversified portfolio across six business lines: citrus (including Berkane Clementine with Protected Geographical Identification status), rosaceae fruits (peaches, nectarines, apples grown across 1,200+ ha), berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries on 200 ha), extra virgin olive oil from Picholine, Koroneiki, and Arbosana varieties at La Mâassera Brahim Zniber, certified nursery seedlings (over 3 million plants/year capacity) at Pépinière Zniber, and 100% natural organic compost (10,000 tonnes/year) at Compost Zniber. It holds an unusually deep certification stack — ISO 9001, GlobalGAP, Fairtrade/Max Havelaar, Tesco, Sedex, BRC, IFS, SGF, EUREPGAP, Leaf, and Organic (AB) — qualifying its produce for the most demanding European and UK retailer supplier lists.

Domaines Zniber operates as a B2B agricultural exporter with quote-based pricing and no public revenue disclosure. Products are sold internationally across Africa, Asia, North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Russia, with berries quasi-exclusively reserved for the British market. The company markets citrus under the Zniber, Pasha, and Queen Berkane sub-brands and sells some rosaceae fruits domestically in Morocco. A multi-year industrial investment program of nearly 1 billion MAD — including 30 million EUR committed to a state-of-the-art citrus packing station in the Oriental region — is currently underway, alongside an In-Vitro-based partnership model with international nurseries for patented variety multiplication.
