Suppliers

One of Zafar Produce's most prized achievements has been the relationships we have built with the leading produce suppliers in the country, as well as top international suppliers. Our suppliers, all of which have state-of-the-art harvesting techniques, provide us with only top-quality produce. Safety, cleanliness and purity are some of the hallmarks of their operations. Our extensive and evolving supplier network allows us the flexibility to always ensure that our customers are receiving a premium product at a very competitive price.


In recent years, Zafar Produce established its procurement division – Zafar Procurement. Zafar Procurement is located in Salinas, California and is led by a management team with 35+ years of buying experience. The team at Zafar Procurement is focused exclusively on making sure that the product we provide our customers is always of premium quality and offered at a very competitive price. In doing so, members of the Zafar Procurement team continuously visit the farms where the fruits and vegetables we supply are grown and closely inspect the product.


Some of our leading suppliers include:
