Premium Indian Chickpeas for Global Markets
iGreen International is a trusted chickpeas exporter from India, supplying premium quality Kabuli and Desi chickpeas to food processors, importers, and retailers across more than 60 countries. Our chickpeas are sourced from the fertile agricultural belts of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, where ideal climatic conditions and rich alluvial soils produce chickpeas with exceptional size, taste, and nutritional profile.
India is the world's largest producer and consumer of chickpeas, and iGreen International leverages this advantage to offer consistent supply throughout the year. As a leading kabuli chana supplier, we maintain strategic partnerships with farming cooperatives across Indore, Ujjain, Dewas, and Jodhpur divisions, ensuring procurement of the finest quality harvest at competitive prices. Our Kabuli chickpeas are particularly sought after in Middle Eastern, European, and North American markets for their large cream-colored kernels and smooth texture.
Our processing facility employs advanced cleaning, grading, and sorting technology to deliver chickpeas that meet the most stringent international food safety standards. Each batch passes through destoners, aspirators, gravity separators, and high-resolution color sorters to remove damaged kernels, stones, and foreign matter. The result is chickpeas with purity levels of 98-99% that consistently exceed buyer expectations.
We offer Kabuli chickpeas in multiple caliber sizes ranging from 8mm to 12mm, catering to diverse market preferences. The 8mm and 9mm grades are popular for canning and food processing applications, while the premium 10mm and 12mm bold grades command a premium in retail markets. Our Desi chickpeas (kala chana) are available in whole and split forms, ideal for traditional cooking and besan (gram flour) production.
