Our History
The journey of OxR Foods Int. Limited began in 2015 with the vision and determination of a young entrepreneur, Mahti Ahsan, then a student of Food Engineering at Daffodil International University. With a modest investment of just USD 20 (BDT 2,000), he purchased a small batch of honey and started selling it within his university. The purity and premium quality of the product quickly attracted attention, resulting in impressive demand. Within just three months, he earned USD 1,500 (BDT 1.5 lakh)—his first capital investment in what would soon become OxR Foods.
Encouraged by his growing clientele of 400 teachers, 1,000 students, and 200 staff members, Mahti expanded his product line to include ghee, pickles, and seafood. In 2016, he showcased his products at the BAPA International Food Fair, where he met key players in the food industry. This marked a major turning point—PRAN Group, a leading food conglomerate in Bangladesh, placed an order for 2 tons of honey. Since then, OxR Foods has supplied over 200 tons of honey to PRAN and established itself as a trusted industry partner.
From humble beginnings, OxR Foods has grown into a prominent name in Bangladesh’s food sector. Over the next few years, we expanded our clientele to include Krishibid Group, BD Foods, and more than 20 other leading brands. We also began supplying raw food materials to restaurants, chefs, caterers, super shops, and emerging e-commerce brands.
In 2018, staying true to our mission of social responsibility, we donated 10 boats to the honey collectors of the Sundarbans, helping them sustain their livelihoods.
By 2019, we laid the groundwork for research and development in spices, setting up facilities in Satkhira. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 accelerated our shift toward digital platforms, and we launched our own online retail portal along with developing our flagship brand, Organico.
Between 2021 and 2022, we strengthened our brand portfolio and production infrastructure, enhancing our product quality and consumer trust.
In 2023, we inaugurated our corporate headquarters in Dhaka, and by 2024, we established a full-scale factory site at Bhabanipur, Gazipur to meet growing demand both domestically and globally.
That same year, we restructured the company into two distinct divisions:
-
Retail, managing all consumer-facing brands.
-
Wholesale, now a separate entity under the name OrganixBulk International Co., which serves the international food industry with raw materials and B2B solutions.
From a small bottle of honey to a global vision, OxR Foods Int. Limited is built on the foundation of quality, transparency, service, and sustainability. Today, we are a trusted name in honey & sweets, spices & herbs, oils & ghee, pickles & chutney, fruits & vegetables, dry foods, seafood, and grains—with a presence in five continents under multiple thriving brands.
We believe our real achievement is not in awards, but in the millions of lives we've nourished—and we are just getting started.
