01
Founded in Dammam
The business began as Aruf Food Trading, supplying staple food lines to restaurants, messes and institutional kitchens in the Eastern Province.
About ANANI
A wholesale food distributor that owns its own chain
Bought at the mill in India, imported and held in stock in our own name.
Our background
Three stages, one chain
The company did not start where it is now. It moved upstream twice — first to the mill, then to the shipping line — and each move removed somebody standing between a kitchen and its stock.
02
Import brought in-house
Buying moved upstream to the mill and the processor, and shipping, clearance and Saudi food-safety documentation were taken on directly rather than through a trading agent.
03
Restructured as ANANI
The company was rebranded as ANANI Global Trading Company, running a single supply chain from origin to kitchen across Saudi Arabia.
The operating model
Buying, import and delivery, held by one company
Nothing in the chain is booked through an agent, which is why a delivery date can be committed to rather than estimated.
01
Contracted at origin
Products are sourced directly from approved mills and producers in India.
02
Imported and cleared
Shipments are imported on our account and cleared through Jeddah and Dammam.
03
Stocked and delivered
Products are held in Saudi warehouses and dispatched against customer orders.

What we claim
Four things, each with a document behind it
- SFDA registered
- Registration maintained in-house, with documentation prepared before sailing.
- Two gateways cleared by our own team
- Jeddah and Dammam. Customs clearance is not subcontracted to an agent.
- Lot records from mill to pallet
- Origin, mill, crop year and shipment reference, so a receiving audit checks against a document.
- Contracts placed at the mill
- Crop and lot fixed before milling, which is what makes a grade repeatable order to order.
