Saremco International

What Saremco International does

Saremco International is a privately held Pakistan-based agricultural exporter founded in 2004, headquartered in Lahore with a wholly-owned Korea subsidiary (Good Faith International Co. Ltd.). The company produces and exports a diversified portfolio from its own farmland and processing facilities, including animal forage (wheat straw, rice straw, Rhodes grass hay, alfalfa hay, and controlled-fermentation corn silage), cereals and grains (multiple Basmati and IRRI-6/9 rice varieties, brown, sella, red grain rice, and maize), fresh fruits and vegetables (Lady Rosetta, Mozika, and Sante potatoes processed through a water-washing facility, mandarins, mangoes, and red onions), and minerals (chromite ore). It supplements product sales with packaging, shipping, and end-to-end export services. Core technology is process-based rather than digital: controlled fermentation for silage, modern Korean machinery for hay harvesting and baling, and a dedicated water-washing line for potato exports, supported by 128 units of technical equipment and 10,000 hectares of farm land producing 19,500 tons annually. Revenue is generated primarily through direct export sales of physical commodities to international buyers on per-unit pricing (e.g., rice at USD 1,200/ton, varied bale and pack sizes for hay and potatoes), with go-to-market via direct sales (WhatsApp, email), an Alibaba TrustPass storefront, and an expanding distributor network. Customer segments are vertical and geographic: international livestock farmers (dairy, beef, sheep, goat), rice importers and wholesalers across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, East Asia, and North America, fresh produce importers, and industrial buyers of chromite ore. The company is founder-led under CEO Muhammad Arif, part of the broader Saremco Group, and reports active operations exporting to at least 20+ countries with a 70% increase in rice exports to China in 2025.
