Inception

Our origin dates back to 1949 when Mr. Ahmed Hashim Alarakhia started an edibles business in Aden, Yemen. His son, Hussain Ahmed moved to Karachi-Pakistan in 1967 and founded Alfarid Corporation five years later. The Company, with its new name and support of the primary office in Aden, has experienced unparalleled success in the export and import of agro-products tailored specifically to the requirements of its clients. Over the years, Alfarid has earned the business and respect of firms and industries throughout its main service areas and today, AFC is an undisputed leader with a substantial list of domestic and international clients. AFC is continuously exploring new opportunities and emerging markets.
