Our Story
Founded in 1957 by the Hayat family in Lahore, Pakistan, Kohenoor International has spent 68 years building one of South Asia's most respected seed-export operations. Today we serve buyers in 40+ countries with a portfolio that includes alfalfa (KN92, TAIZTAR, Sardi varieties), berseem clover, Rhodes grass, sorghum-Sudan hybrids, sesame, fenugreek, fennel, and 30+ other forage, pasture, herb and sprouting crops.
What started as a small commodity-trading desk has grown into a vertically-integrated seed business: we own seed-multiplication contracts with growers across Pakistan's Punjab and Sindh provinces, operate ISO 9001:2015–certified cleaning and grading facilities (with SORTEX H SpectraVision optical sorters), and maintain in-house phytosanitary, germination and purity-testing labs.
