The Omarzay Story

The Omarzay family’s business story is deeply rooted in Afghanistan.

Where It Began

Haji Painda Mohammad Khan Omarzay

Born in 1898, he became a successful trader, conducting business between cities across Afghanistan. His entrepreneurial journey later extended into agriculture and land development.

In 1938, he acquired approximately 10,000 acres of land in Deh Sabz, northeast of Kabul. He established a large residence on the land and developed agricultural activities across the surrounding area, cultivating fruits and vegetables that were traded throughout Afghanistan.
