Global Exporter & Bulk Supplier of Premium Indian Chickpeas (Kabuli & Desi)
As an apex chickpeas exporter from India and direct processor, Rajat Global supplies high-caliber Garbanzo Beans (Kabuli Chickpeas / Pois Chiches / Nohut) and Bengal Gram (Desi Chickpeas / Chana Dal) to commercial food processors, canning factories, hummus manufacturers, and institutional distributors across more than 50 countries worldwide.
Headquartered in Madhya Pradesh—the epicentre of India's chickpea agricultural heartland—we operate direct farm-gate procurement networks and advanced Sortex cleaning lines. Our automated infrastructure delivers 99.8% minimum purity, exact mm caliber grading, institutional defect tolerances, and year-round export stability backed by climate-controlled warehousing.
Premium Varieties: Kabuli and Desi Chickpeas
We are a versatile chickpeas manufacturer in India, processing and exporting the two most highly sought-after varieties of this legume to meet diverse culinary and industrial needs.
Kabuli Chickpeas (White Chickpeas / Garbanzo Beans)
Known for their elegant whitish-cream appearance and thin seed coat, Kabuli chickpeas are the preferred choice for Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Western cuisines. We supply two distinct technical types: • Blanco Sinaloa (Mexican Type): Large, light-colored peas with a very thin coat, primarily grown in India and Mexico. Available in large calibers (40-42 / 14mm to 100-120 / 6mm). • Spaniola (Turkish Type): Featuring a pink or light red hue, these have a comparatively thicker coat and a smoother profile. Grown in India, Turkey, Argentina, and Australia. Available in calibers from 52-54 (10mm) to 140-150 (6mm).
Desi Chickpeas (Bengal Gram / Brown Chickpeas)
Characterized by a darker, thicker seed coat and a smaller size, Desi chickpeas (Bengal Gram) possess a rich texture and hearty flavor. Primarily grown in India, Pakistan, Australia, Ethiopia, and Tanzania, they are consumed whole in curries and salads or dehulled and split to create Chana Dal. We are a leading Desi chickpeas supplier for global markets demanding high-protein, traditional pulses.
Nutritional Powerhouse & Industrial Food Applications
Indian chickpeas serve as an essential cornerstone for the booming global plant-based protein market, meat analogs, and clean-label functional ingredients.
- High Plant Protein (20-22%): Clean-label muscle nourishment and vital base for vegan protein isolates.
- Dietary Fiber (17-18%): Promotes gut microbiome health and optimal water-binding capacity in food manufacturing.
- Low Glycemic Index (GI 28-32): Slow-release complex carbohydrates ideal for diabetic and wellness formulations.
- Naturally Gluten-Free & Non-GMO: 100% non-genetically modified and safe for allergen-free packaging facilities.
Caliber Sizing & Defect Parameter Specifications
Our rotary drum sizing and optical sorters classify chickpeas with precision. Below are standard export calibers and technical specifications (HS Code: 07132000 / 07132010).

Processing Technology & Sortex Cleaning Workflow
To guarantee export purity, every batch of chickpeas arriving from regional mandis undergoes our systematic 5-stage automated refinement line:
Pre-Cleaning & Scalping
High-capacity reciprocating sieves and aspirator air channels remove chaff, plant straw, empty pods, and light field dust.
Gravity Separator & Destoner
Fluidized vibratory deck classifies particles by specific gravity, removing heavy stones, mud clods, and high-density debris with zero pulse loss.
Multi-Deck Rotary Sizing
Precision mechanical grading drums separate chickpeas into exact millimeter calibers (14mm, 12mm, 11mm, 9mm, 7mm) ensuring caliber uniformity.
Bichromatic High-Res Sortex Sorters
Ultra-fast CCD optical cameras scan each individual seed in free-fall, ejecting discolored, chalky, green, or stained kernels with pneumatic air nozzles.
Magnets, Metal Detection & Dust Aspiration
Rare-earth multi-pole magnetic grids and in-line metal detectors verify zero ferrous and non-ferrous particles before automated weighing and bag stitching.
Crop Calendar, Harvest Season & Global Supply Chain
Cultivated in the fertile black cotton soils of Central and Western India, our strategic location and cold-storage infrastructure enable steady, year-round export fulfillment:
Rabi Sowing Season
Favorable soil temperatures and post-monsoon residual moisture promote robust seedling root establishment across Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
Vegetative & Grain Development
Cool, dry winter weather promotes natural pod formation, healthy grain caliber development, and low natural pest vulnerability.
Peak Harvest & Fresh Crop Arrivals
Primary agricultural Mandis witness fresh crop arrivals. Ideal procurement window for annual contracts with optimum pricing and premium color.
Year-Round Off-Season Fulfillment
Climate-controlled warehousing and nitrogen-purged cold storage preserve color, moisture balance, and germinative energy for export year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for International Buyers
We export Kabuli Chickpeas in calibers ranging from 38/40 count (14mm extra-bold Blanco Sinaloa) down to 75/80 count (7-8mm small caliber Spaniola). Popular commercial counts include 42/44 (12mm), 44/46 (11mm), and 58/60 (9mm). Desi chickpeas are available in whole brown chana (5-7mm) and split chana dal grades.
Blanco Sinaloa (Mexican type) features large, cream-white seeds with a very thin seed coat, prized for high water absorption and gourmet whole-canned applications. Spaniola (Turkish type) has a slightly thicker seed coat and light reddish/tan hue with exceptional nutty flavor, making it the preferred commercial choice for high-yield hummus pastes and falafel flour.
Our Sortex-cleaned chickpeas guarantee a minimum purity of 99.8%. We adhere to strict physical defect thresholds: Foreign Matter < 0.2%, Green Kernels < 0.5%, Broken & Split < 1.0%, Discolored Kernels < 0.5%, Weevilled Seeds < 0.1%, and strictly NIL live/dead insects or foreign pernicious matter (glass, metal, stones).
We support FOB (Port of Mundra or Nhava Sheva / JNPT, India), CIF (Destination Port), CFR, and EXW terms. We manage full export logistics including container booking, customs clearance, and inland transit.
Yes. We regularly facilitate third-party pre-shipment inspection through internationally accredited inspection agencies including SGS, Intertek, Cotecna, or Bureau Veritas for weight verification, moisture testing, pesticide residue analysis, and physical grading.
While the peak fresh harvest occurs between February and April, we store substantial inventory in modern climate-controlled warehouses and nitrogen-purged cold storage units. This prevents color deterioration and weevil infestation, ensuring year-round supply consistency.
We provide 25 kg & 50 kg double-stitched PP bags, natural multi-ply paper or jute bags, 1,000 kg – 1,200 kg FIBC jumbo bulk bags, and 20ft loose container liners. A standard 20ft container accommodates 24 Metric Tons in bags and up to 25 Metric Tons with bulk container liners.
