History

Mitchell's was founded by Francis J. Mitchell in 1933 in British India on a 720-acre plot of land near Renala Khurd, Okara District, which he leased from the Punjab, British India government. This would later become the Mitchell's Fruit Farms. Originally the company was registered at Lahore in April 1933 under the name Indian Mildura Fruit Farms Limited.

Then Syed Maratib Ali, maternal grandfather of Jugnu Mohsin and father of industrialists Syed Babar Ali and Syed Wajid Ali bought it from Francis J. Mitchell in 1958. Syed Maratib Ali's son-in-law S.M. Mohsin was handed over complete control of Mitchell's Fruit Farms. He and his son Mehdi Mohsin ran the company until 2020. Jugnu Mohsin and her husband Najam Sethi took over the operational control in 2020 and Abdul Raheem became the chairman of the company.

In 1993, Mitchell's was listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange.
