Chickpeas — Cicer arietinum — are one of the oldest cultivated legumes in human history, and today rank as the third most consumed legume globally after soybeans and groundnuts. India accounts for the world’s dominant share of production and export, supplying processors, traders, and retailers across the Middle East, Europe, North America, Africa, and Australia.

Two principal commercial types define the international chickpea trade: Kabuli and Desi. Kabuli chickpeas, with their large cream-coloured seeds, light seed coat, and mild flavour, are preferred in the Middle East, Mediterranean, and Western consumer markets for hummus, salads, stews, and canned products. Desi chickpeas, darker, smaller, and with a comparatively tougher seed coat, are prized for their higher protein, fibre, and iron density, and form the basis for split chickpea (chana dal) and roasted chickpea snack production.

The growing global trend toward plant-based proteins and clean-label nutrition has substantially increased international demand for chickpea flour, chickpea pasta, chickpea milk, and extruded chickpea snack ingredients. Our chickpeas are machine-cleaned, gravity-separated, and colour-sorted for maximum uniformity and visual appeal, meeting the quality standards of both commodity trade and value-added food manufacturing.
