Shazday started the way most real things do — small, and out of necessity rather than ambition. Long before there was a company name, there was one family's orchard above Skardu's Main Bazaar, drying apricots the way their parents and grandparents had: laid out in the open Karakoram sun, no sulphur, no shortcuts, just patience.
Our Values
Pesticide-free fruit, fair dealing with the families who grow it, and a constant search for a better way to bring it to you.
Innovation
We are in the constant pursuit of finding newer and better solutions to problems. Keeping sustainability in mind, we are fast to adopt new technology to be more efficient. We constantly invest in research and development, in all areas of our business.
How We Work
Three commitments shape everything we grow, process and pack, from the orchards of Gilgit-Baltistan to your door.
How we work
Pride back in Agriculture
Shazday is addressing the ecological imbalance caused by the migration of traditional farmers from the Karakoram and Himalayan valleys to urban areas. By partnering with these farmers, the organization seeks to enhance their economic opportunities and living standards. This holistic approach aims to minimize urban migration, preserve biodiversity, and ensure the ecological sustainability of these vital mountainous regions.
How we work
New for the better
Shazday integrates traditional agricultural practices with advanced technology, exemplified by the establishment of the first modern fruit and nut processing plant in the region. Pioneering the use of technologies like remote sensing, GIS, and agriculture 4.0, Shazday remains committed to enhancing efficiency, quality, and sustainability in locally grown produce through continuous research and development.
How we work
Sustainability
Shazday is dedicated to reducing waste throughout its supply chain, aiming for a negative carbon footprint impact in the region while creating value. Amidst concerns of climate change-induced food shortages, the company emphasizes sustainability and ecological balance in its food supply chains, investing in enhanced produce handling and collaborating with farmers to minimize wastage.
