About Suntana
Over a century of
raisin heritage
Our story began in the early 1900s when our great-great-grandfather started growing grapes and producing raisins in our village in the Urgut district of Samarkand. Generation after generation, we perfected the craft.
What started as a family tradition has grown into a fully integrated raisin production and export business — while staying true to the methods and values our ancestors established over 100 years ago.
Today, Suntana carries that legacy forward: premium quality, natural drying, and honest trade — from Samarkand to the world.

Our Story
A century of
family heritage
Our story began in the early 1900s when our great-great-grandfather started growing grapes and producing raisins in our village in the Urgut district of Samarkand. He saw the potential of the fertile land and the Uzbek sun — and built the foundation of what Suntana is today.
Generation after generation, our family refined the craft — perfecting drying methods, expanding our vineyards, and building a reputation for uncompromising quality that now reaches 40+ countries worldwide.
