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. Delivery is CFR / CIF to your port, or FOB Egypt, 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.
Why Buy From PEIVANA
PEIVANA offers what mid-size chickpea buyers rarely find: the option to mix calibres and even products in one container; workable volumes below the big trading houses’ minimums; and responses on calibre availability, packing and freight to your port.
