BMB Holding

What BMB Holding does

BMB Holding is a privately held, diversified Uzbek holding company founded in 2017 (originally as BMB Trade Group and later rebranded), headquartered in Tashkent and operating a vertically integrated agribusiness cluster concentrated in Jizzakh region. The group encompasses 32 enterprises — 28 wholly-owned subsidiaries and 4 joint ventures — spanning crop cultivation on 30,000+ hectares (BMB AGRO), deep processing of 180,000+ tons of fruits and vegetables per year into concentrates, jams, canned goods, purees, shock-frozen, and freeze-dried products (BMB AGRO PLUS), an 810,000-ton agrologistics complex with single-window customs and phytosanitary certification (BMB-NRC Agrologistics), and export-import operations (BMB IMPEX) that shipped over $48.7M of goods in 2024 to 20+ countries including Italy, Germany, USA, and China.

The group monetizes through one-time B2B sales of agricultural commodities, processed food products, and saffron (via the Italian-Uzbek JV BMB-OPERA ZAFFERANO, which holds FDA registration for US market entry), complemented by a HoReCa chain under the Za'faron brand (five hotel and restaurant outlets serving 30,000+ customers annually), inbound and outbound tourism (BMB GLOBAL SAYOHAT, including pilgrimage tours from Indonesia and Malaysia), media production (BMB MEDIA MARKAZI), medicinal-plant cultivation (BMB SHIFO), construction (BMB HIGH-TECH), and a professional futsal club. Pricing is negotiated enterprise-by-enterprise with no publicly disclosed tiers, and customer acquisition is driven by direct field sales, international trade missions, investment forums, and government/diplomatic relationships.

Management is led by a Founders' Council chaired by Bekzod Akmalovich Mamatqulov, with CEO Elyor Shuxratovich Ibrohimov and Executive Director Jahongir Akmalovich Jabborqulov overseeing a structure of specialized deputy CEOs for international relations, finance, agriculture, general affairs, capital construction, compliance, and commercial operations. Ownership is undisclosed beyond founder control, with stated plans to consolidate the holding into a joint-stock company; $1.5B in joint investment projects is reported as under implementation, and the operating model explicitly targets foreign-investor attraction and export-led growth for Uzbekistan's agricultural sector.
