🇸🇦
★★★★★
Switched from Argentine origin to Kohenoor TAIZTAR in 2022. 18% lower landed cost and our Hail farms increased annual cuts from 8 to 10 with the heat-tolerant variety. ISTA dodder certificate gave us comfort with regulators. We've placed 8 repeat orders since.

KN92 cold-tolerant survived our worst Tashkent winter (-22°C in 2023). Pakistani supplier reliability and CNY payment routing worked perfectly post-2022 sanctions on Russian origin. Lead time better than competitors.

24-hour quote response is what won us. We were comparing 6 suppliers and Kohenoor came back same day with full proforma. Lead time to Manzanillo was 32 days as promised. Repeat orders since 2023.

Mombasa transit time was 13 days exactly as quoted. KEPHIS phytosanitary clearance took 4 days because Kohenoor pre-coordinated with our customs broker. Excellent attention to detail.

Were skeptical alfalfa could grow in Philippines but TAIZTAR has performed well in Bukidnon. Kohenoor sent agronomist guidance documents in addition to the seed. Going to expand from 5 MT trial to 50 MT next year.

Toshka project required documented '0.00% Cuscuta' from accredited lab. Kohenoor's ISTA Orange Certificate met requirements. Other Pakistani exporters could not provide this.

SAFTA preferential certificate saved us 7% on import duty. Kohenoor knew exactly how to fill the form. Other suppliers we used didn't even mention SAFTA benefit.

Detailed Case Studies

🇸🇦 SAUDI ARABIA · DAIRY COOPERATIVE · 2022-2026

How a Saudi Hail-region dairy cut feed cost 18% by switching to TAIZTAR alfalfa

The challenge: A Saudi dairy cooperative in Hail operating 850 cows was paying $2,600/MT CIF for Argentine alfalfa seeds (Trifecta variety). Their summer cuts were dropping from 9/year to 7/year as Saudi temperatures consistently exceeded the variety's 38°C ceiling.

The Kohenoor solution: Switched to TAIZTAR (Pakistan, 48°C ceiling) at $2,150/MT CIF Jeddah. 25 MT trial order first, then 100 MT, then 250 MT/year repeating contract.

Cost Savings
$450/MT × 250 MT = $112,500/yr saved
Yield Improvement

🇺🇿 UZBEKISTAN · CENTRAL ASIAN DAIRY · 2023-2026

Post-sanctions: Uzbekistan dairy switched from Russian to Pakistani KN92

The challenge: A 2,500-hectare Uzbek dairy depended on Russian Lobo alfalfa seed since 2018. After 2022 sanctions, USD payment routing to Russian suppliers became impossible. Russian banks couldn't clear correspondent USD transactions. Stocks were running out.

The Kohenoor solution: KN92 cold-tolerant variety (tested to -25°C), CNY payment routing through Sberbank China branch with final USD settlement at Kohenoor Pakistan. Karachi-Termez land bridge logistics. First trial 50 MT, scaled to 200 MT annual.

🇸🇩 SUDAN · NATIONAL DAIRY DEVELOPMENT · 2023-2026

Sudan Gezira Scheme rehabilitation: TAIZTAR for soil reclamation + dairy expansion

The challenge: Sudan's Gezira Scheme — historically the world's largest single irrigated farm — needed alfalfa to rehabilitate soil after decades of cotton monoculture. Sudan's 2023-2024 banking crisis made direct USD payment impossible. Local dollar availability was severely constrained.

The Kohenoor solution: Structured payment through Egyptian bank LC (Banque Misr), with USD settlement at Kohenoor Pakistan. 250 MT TAIZTAR delivered to Port Sudan over 3 shipments. Arabic translation of all phytosanitary documents.
