Our Story

A Path of Integrity, Trust, and Legacy

The year was 2002. The place was the Middle East. The markets were bustling with activity, and the air was thick with the smell of spices and fresh produce. In the midst of all this chaos, a young man named Ammar Bakri had a vision.

He dreamt of bringing the freshest produce of the highest quality to both the local and international markets. Setting out to transform the way people experienced fruits and vegetables, he built a company that was synonymous with quality and excellence.

Al Bakrawe quickly rose from humble beginnings to become a dominant force in the fresh produce industry. The company embarked on an extraordinary journey of growth with an understanding of the evolving market dynamics and a burning desire to cater to the ever-growing demand.

Al Bakrawe Group became not just a market leader but a beacon of innovation, shaping the landscape of fresh produce importing and exporting in the Middle East.

Despite the numerous obstacles that lay ahead, Ammar’s dream thrived in the heart of the Arabian desert. As the continuous heat pounded down on the countryside, producing a hostile atmosphere unsuitable for cultivating and transporting fresh food, Ammar recognized the importance of his mission. He gathered an elite alliance of experts who shared his passion for changing the agricultural landscape. By harnessing the power of innovation, he devoted himself to staying at the forefront of technological advancements. It was then that Ammar’s vision unfolded like a vibrant tapestry.

Fields of once-deserted soil bloomed a variety of fruits and vegetables. Once regarded to be uninhabitable, the Middle East has become a beacon of agricultural abundance.

Al Bakrawe Group continues to thrive under Ammar Bakri leadership, guided by the basic principles of quality, dependability, and customer satisfaction. The development of five subsidiaries added to the company’s success, each a monument to the devotion and entrepreneurial spirit that remains inside the organization.

As time passed, Al Bakrawe Group’s impact grew throughout the GCC and the Middle East, reaching far and wide to satisfy clients’ appetites. The company continues to thrive, writing new chapters in the chronicles of fresh produce quality, thanks to a fantastic team of bright individuals united by a common goal of success.

Al Bakrawe’s journey serves as a reminder that a legacy may blossom from a single seed of inspiration, influencing future generations. Today, the term Al Bakrawe is synonymous with freshness, excellence, and a commitment to providing the finest that nature has to offer.
