LIFCO originated from the vision of Mr. Mohamed Salim Hassan in Venezuela in early 1950’s, by setting up an organization to import and trade traditional Lebanese preserves, dried fruits and jams, olive oil and other essential commodities etc by targeting the local Arab and Lebanese community that got established its roots in that country then. Gradually, the local community embraced the Arab flavors that boosted the business of the group which motivated the management to locate the business in Monrovia, Liberia in Southwest Africa, which was an upcoming and potentially growing market in the region.
LIFCO currently is LIFCO GROUP encompassing six various Strategic Business Units (SBUs) such as LIFCO Lebanese Fruit company (LIFCO MAIN), LIFCO Alrawabi Trading, LIFCO International, LIFCO Trading, LIFCO Technical & Refrigeration, and the retail outlet chain LIFCO supermarkets expanding to territories such as UAE, Lebanon, Oman , Qatar, China etc.
