Our Mission
We are a public benefit corporation and are committed to empowering Afghan women and bolstering the country’s economy. Rumi reinvests back into agricultural and manufacturing infrastructure.
Connecting AfghanistanRumi began with a mission to cultivate peace in Afghanistan. Over 80% of the Afghan population is reliant on the rural agricultural economy. The success of the spice industry not only helps farmers and the women providing direct labor, it can touch every member of the village we work in. We have seen output from our existing partners double and triple, while new farmers have asked to join our network.
With hot, dry winds over semi-arid lands, Afghanistan’s growing region is ideal for growing saffron and other artisanal spices. For example, in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, the International Taste and Quality Institute of Brussels awarded Afghan saffron first place out of 30 competing regions. Rumi saffron is tested in accordance with ISO (International Standards Organization) protocol 3632 and surpasses the highest standards for Category 1 saffron by over 25%. Our test results show that our farmers are producing some of the world’s best saffron.

With this knowledge, we built the critical relationships, partnerships, and organizational infrastructure necessary to operate within and out of Afghanistan.
Our competitive advantage is our ability to navigate the Afghan business landscape, which is built on trusted relationships.

Reviews
United StatesExcellent. Made wings.
United StatesI ordered two spices for myself, Berbere and Saffron. Both arrived within two days' time. I had mistakenly not included an eligible discount in my order ( technology idiot that I am), contacted customer service. The problem was addressed and the discount was added very quickly. I am impressed with the great service and grateful to have had such a good experience. Spices arrived well wrapped and protected in the shipping box. The berbere is delicious, the saffron threads made a great saffron rice. The website has useful tips and recipes, too! Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support!
United StatesDelicious! And the bottle is very pretty

United StatesI hadn't cooked with berbere before and it was a very tasty experience akin to an Indian food taste. I came in about 2 days after I ordered it.
