Izmir Organic (Yaban Food)

Presentation

Izmir Organic is a Turkish manufacturer of dried fruits, nuts and organic ingredients based in the Aegean Free Zone in Izmir. The story began in the 1990s, when Atilla Sevilmiş and his sons cultivated organic blackberries, apricots and sesame seeds in southeastern Turkey — one of the country's first two organic projects. The agricultural company Yaban Food was created to supply the sector, then the company opened its own processing plant in 2011 to control the entire chain. Today it works directly with more than 300 organic producers, without intermediaries, and presents itself as the world's first supplier of organic dried white mulberries. The plant is BRC grade AA certified, the highest rating of this standard, and holds NOP (USDA), EU, COR organic certifications, as well as Kosher, Halal and Sedex. The ranges cover dried fruits (figs, apricots, raisins, mulberries, sour cherries, apples, prunes, strawberries), fruit pastes and flours, nuts (hazelnuts, pistachios, apricot kernels, pine nuts), roasted chickpeas and cold-pressed oils. The company offers private label, custom packaging, own recipes and order preparation for Amazon FBA logistics; it ships from one pallet, to all six continents.
