Our story began in the 1990s, when Atilla Sevilmiş and his sons grew organic mulberries, apricots and sesame seeds in their hometown in southeastern Turkey. At that time, ours was only the second organic project in all of Turkey.

To supply our produce, we founded Yaban Food, an agricultural company which still thrives today and is a household name among organic food factories in Turkey.

In our early years at Yabanfood, we relied on third party facilities to process our products. But the quality of our crops and of the work that went into harvesting them instilled in us the drive to take the production process into our own hands.

In 2011, we built our own food processing factory. We gradually obtained world-renowned certifications to ensure it operated in line with the highest standards in the industry. We secured a location in Izmir’s Aegean Free Zone to be able to acquire the best raw materials free from customs duties.

Today, Izmir Organic holds BRC AA grade, organic, kosher, halal and Sedex certifications. We offer a wide range of organic, plant-based foods and are the world leader in the supply of organic dried mulberries. We work directly with over 300 organic farmers, without any intermediaries. We taste the food, control the production process, and ensure that every ingredient we source meets the highest standards of organic and sustainable farming. We foster confidence in our customers and dedication in our workers. We export directly to organic food importers in every corner of the world.
