Three decades of trusted trade.
Zafar Global Trading & Logistics is a growing freight forwarding, import, export and trading company. We forward any product to anywhere, run a China door-to-door and sourcing desk, and supply premium dates, nuts, dry fruits and a wide range of agricultural and industrial products — with freight, customs clearance and delivery handled in-house.
Dates are a commodity. Trust isn't.
Our founder began trading Iraqi Zahedi in 1992 with a simple rule: never sell a grade you wouldn't eat yourself. Three decades on, that rule still governs every shipment we clear at Chennai port.
Today we work directly with packers, mills and processors in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Africa and the Far East — trading dates, cashew nuts and dry fruits alongside cardamom, black pepper, charcoal, cocopeat, onions, apples, avocados, quick lime, limestone lumps, gypsum and copper scrap.
Our logistics arm closes the loop: freight forwarding for any product to anywhere, all-India transportation, international shipping, freight coordination, customs clearance, import/export documentation, cargo handling and door-to-door delivery. We also act as a worldwide sourcing agent — and one of the best China sourcing agents you can appoint, with full China door-to-door delivery. No middlemen. No grade games. One accountable partner.
What we hold to.
We deal directly with farms, packers and mills — never through layered middlemen.
Every shipment is graded transparently. AAA means AAA, not a marketing label.
Our pricing, packing and logistics are built for serious wholesale and industrial buyers.
Sourcing, trading, freight, customs and delivery answered by one accountable team.
