We supply graded Kabuli chickpeas in multiple standard calibers, including 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, and 10mm+ sizes. Each batch undergoes precision mechanical grading to ensure uniform size distribution and cooking consistency.
Yes. Our Kabuli chickpeas are specifically selected for industrial processing. They feature thin seed coats, high starch absorption, and uniform hydration capacity, preventing splitting or hardening during high-pressure retorting and cooking.
All chickpea batches pass through a rigorous multi-stage cleaning line comprising mechanical scalpers, gravity separators, stoners, and state-of-the-art optical color sorters (Sortex) to eliminate foreign debris, stained seeds, and broken pieces, achieving 99.5% purity.
Prior to container sealing, all shipments undergo mandatory commercial fumigation using aluminum phosphide under authorized phytosanitary oversight. Containers are certified 100% pest-free upon departure and accompanied by an official Fumigation Certificate.
We execute trade transactions under Incoterms 2020 guidelines, providing FOB (Port of Santos / Paranaguá) or CIF/CFR terms to any recognized international port. Payment terms include 100% Irrevocable Confirmed Letter of Credit (L/C at sight) or T/T wire transfer with balance against shipping document copies.
Yes, alongside standard 25kg and 50kg industrial polypropylene (PP) bags, we can accommodate custom private-label branding and consumer-ready retail pouches (500g, 1kg, 2kg) for qualified volume contracts.
Yes, representative pre-shipment samples (500g to 1kg) can be sent via express air courier to verified commercial buyers, food manufacturers, and import distributors to test moisture, size grading, and culinary cooking performance prior to bulk dispatch.
