Why we rate it

  • Ethically verified: Exceptional labour transparency for almonds: 85% female workforce including management, immediate farmer-direct payment, phased farm-traceability, chemical-free heirloom cultivation

  • Worker welfare: Kabul facility is 85% women in BOTH staff and management; year-round employment, training and weekly English lessons; farmers paid immediately on quality inspection to bypass exploitative traders
  • Water stewardship: Traditional low-input methods in mountain-fed valleys; honest note - Afghan irrigation is limited and almonds remain water-demanding, so the water case is modest

Worth checking
