Our story

From family values to a global brand.

Goldland Food was founded in Malatya in 1986 by Ogun Özhazar. Since then we have played an important role in exporting dried apricots, dried figs, pistachios, hazelnuts, dates, dried cherries, raisins and dried mulberries.

As an entrepreneurial and innovative company in the dried fruit and nut export sector — an important part of the Turkish economy — we stand out with quality products and a customer-oriented approach to service.

We manufacture our products in line with high quality standards and monitor them with strict quality control procedures throughout production. We give priority to environmentally friendly and sustainable production methods.

Customer satisfaction is one of our highest priorities. With a flexible approach to our customers’ needs we deliver on time and reliably, and we can produce to special requirements.

Quality, reliability and customer satisfaction are the three cornerstones of our leading position in dried fruit exports.

Why Malatya?

The advantage of producing at the source.

  • Unique climate

    High altitude, hot and dry summers and plenty of sun give the apricot intense aroma and ideal sugar balance.

  • Short supply chain

    Proximity to orchards: fast, controlled transition from harvest to drying and from drying to processing.

  • Generations of know-how

    The grower network and craftsmanship of a city that grew up with apricots.
