Indian Lentils and Pulses for International Buyers

India is one of the world's major pulse-producing countries. APEDA identifies pulses as an important group of crops in India and lists chickpeas, pigeon pea, moong, urad, masur (lentil), peas and various beans among the major pulse categories. Major pulse-growing regions include Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal.

This broad production base gives international buyers access to a diverse range of Indian pulses.

At Kleem Earth, our focus is on turning that diversity into practical sourcing options for global markets.

Our Indian Pulse Range

Masur Dal – Indian Lentils

Masur, commonly known as lentil, is one of the important pulse varieties traded in India and internationally.

Lentils are used extensively in Indian cooking and can also be incorporated into soups, prepared foods, ready-to-cook products and other commercial food applications.

For international buyers, Indian lentils can be sourced in different forms and specifications depending on the intended market and application.

Kleem Earth can cater to requirements for:

• Whole lentils

• Split lentils

• Processed lentil products

• Bulk lentils

• Retail-ready lentils

• Food-processing requirements

Exact product specifications, grades and packaging can be discussed according to buyer requirements.

Toor Dal – Pigeon Pea

Toor dal, also known as pigeon pea or arhar dal, is one of the most familiar pulses in Indian cuisine.

It is widely used for preparing traditional dals, sambar and other pulse-based dishes.

Its importance extends beyond household kitchens. Toor dal is also relevant to restaurants, foodservice companies, packaged-food businesses and food manufacturers serving Indian and South Asian markets.

For international buyers looking for Indian pigeon peas or toor dal, Kleem Earth can discuss bulk sourcing and export requirements based on availability.

Moong Dal – Green Gram

Moong, or green gram, is another important Indian pulse.

Moong is used in a wide range of Indian foods, including dals, curries, sprouts and traditional preparations. Depending on processing, it can be supplied as whole green gram or in split and dehulled forms.

Moong is particularly versatile for food businesses because it can be incorporated into both traditional and modern food products.

Kleem Earth can supply moong-based products according to buyer specifications and export requirements.

Urad Dal – Black Gram

Urad, commonly known as black gram, is another important pulse in Indian cuisine.

It is particularly associated with foods such as idli, dosa, vada and other South Indian preparations.

For international markets with Indian and South Asian consumer communities, urad is an important ingredient with strong culinary demand.

Kleem Earth can support sourcing requirements for black gram and urad dal depending on product specification, quantity and market requirements.

Chickpeas – Chana

Chickpeas, known in India as chana, are among the country's major pulses.

Indian chickpeas are commonly available in forms including Kabuli chana and Desi chana, with applications ranging from traditional cooking to packaged foods and food manufacturing.

Chickpeas can be used in:

• Curries

• Hummus and dips

• Snacks

• Flour production

• Ready-to-eat foods

• Canned and prepared foods

• Vegetarian and plant-based food products

Kleem Earth can discuss chickpea sourcing for both bulk and commercial requirements.

Why Indian Pulses?

Indian pulses have a significant place in the country's agricultural and food system.

According to APEDA, pulses are important food crops globally because of their protein content, and they form an integral part of the Indian diet. APEDA notes that pulses generally contain around 20–25% protein by weight, although nutritional composition varies by pulse and product.

For international buyers, Indian pulses offer more than one product category—they provide access to a broad portfolio of ingredients used across traditional cuisines, packaged foods and commercial food production.

India's Pulse Export Market

India is not only a major producer of pulses; it is also an active participant in international pulse trade.

APEDA reports that India exported 1,000,547.49 metric tonnes of pulses valued at approximately USD 969.53 million during FY 2025–26. Major export destinations reported for the year included China, the UAE, Bangladesh, the United States and Sri Lanka.

This established export market provides an important foundation for Indian pulse suppliers serving buyers around the world.

Kleem Earth aims to participate in this opportunity by connecting international buyers with Indian pulse products suited to their requirements.

Lentils and Pulses for Food Manufacturers

Pulses are versatile ingredients for the food industry.

Food manufacturers can use Indian lentils and pulses across a broad range of products, including:

Ready-to-Cook Foods

Dal mixes, pulse-based meal kits and convenient cooking products.

Ready-to-Eat Foods

Prepared dals, curries and other pulse-based meals.

Snacks

Roasted, seasoned and processed pulse-based snack products.

Flour and Ingredient Applications

Chickpeas and other pulses can be processed into flours and ingredients for different food applications.

Traditional Foods

Pulses remain essential ingredients in Indian, South Asian and other regional cuisines.

Plant-Based Food Products

Pulses are increasingly relevant as ingredients in products designed around plant-based diets.

Bulk Indian Pulses for Export

International pulse buyers often require more than a simple retail pack.

They may need:

• Bulk quantities

• Specific pulse varieties

• Whole or split products

• Defined grades

• Specific packaging

• Private-label packing

• Retail-ready packaging

• Food-processing specifications

• Destination-specific documentation

Kleem Earth works with buyers to understand these requirements before confirming supply.

Product availability, grade, packaging and minimum order quantities can vary depending on the pulse and destination.

From Indian Farms to Global Markets

India's pulse-growing regions span multiple states, creating a broad agricultural base for the country's pulse industry.

Andhra Pradesh is among the states identified by APEDA as a major pulse cultivation region, alongside Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal.

This geographical diversity is important for maintaining a broad sourcing network.

At Kleem Earth, we focus on connecting this Indian agricultural base with buyers who need pulses for international markets.

Lentils and Pulses for Retail Markets

Indian pulses have strong potential in international retail markets, particularly where consumers are familiar with Indian, South Asian, Middle Eastern and vegetarian cuisines.

Retail pulse products can be supplied in formats appropriate for:

• Indian grocery stores

• Asian supermarkets

• Ethnic food retailers

• Mainstream supermarkets

• Online grocery businesses

• Food distributors

Packaging and labelling requirements can differ substantially by destination country, so retail specifications should be confirmed with the buyer before supply.
