Egyptian Chickpeas for Export
From hummus plants in the Gulf to snack roasters in Asia and repackers across Europe, chickpea buyers want the same three things: bold calibre, cream-gold colour and clean cooking behaviour. Egyptian kabuli chickpeas deliver on all three. Grown in well-drained soils and finished under a dry harvest sky, the crop develops the smooth, light-coloured seed coat and plump round shape that kabuli markets pay for, and Egypt’s processing sector — sortex lines, gravity tables, sizing screens — turns it into a consistent export article.
PEIVANA treats chickpeas as a core line in its dry goods range. Being the flexible Egyptian exporter means you can take chickpeas as a full container or as several tonnes inside a mixed legume load with lentils, white beans and black eyed beans — one shipment, one set of documents, several products.
Varieties & Grades
Our standard offer is kabuli chickpeas in the 7 mm, 8 mm and 9 mm calibres, screened for uniformity. Export grade means sortex colour-sorted, de-stoned and double-cleaned: purity of 99% and above, broken/split and discoloured kernels within contract tolerance, and moisture held around 12–14% for safe storage and transit. Counts per ounce/100 g can be certified for buyers who purchase on count rather than screen size.

Season & Availability
Chickpeas are a spring harvest, cleaned and warehoused for shipment throughout the year. Year-round availability is standard; new-crop bookings open ahead of harvest for buyers wanting fresh-crop colour at its best.
Logistics & Shipping
Chickpeas travel in standard dry containers, kraft-lined, with desiccant protection on humid lanes and fumigation performed to destination requirements. Loading is from Alexandria, Damietta, Sokhna and Port Said, with regular sailings to the Gulf, Europe, Asia and Africa. For smaller buyers, chickpeas are one of the easiest items to slot into a mixed dry container.
Quality & Documentation
Every shipment is documented with a phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and fumigation certificate where required; third-party inspection (weight, quality, calibration) can be arranged at loading. Cleaning and packing run through HACCP/ISO-certified facilities with retained samples and full lot traceability, and pre-shipment samples are couriered on request.
