About Black Gram
Black Gram (Vigna mungo), known in India as Urad Dal, is one of South Asia's most important pulses — a high-protein legume central to staple dishes such as dal makhani, idli, dosa and papad. The small black-skinned bean reveals a creamy white interior when split (urad dal) or skinned (dhuli urad). India is the world's largest producer and consumer of black gram, cultivating it across Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu as both a Kharif and Rabi crop.
Black gram carries 24-26% protein and is rich in fibre, iron and folate, making it a cornerstone of vegetarian nutrition and an increasingly valued ingredient in the global plant-based protein movement. It trades in three principal forms — whole (sabut), split with skin (chilka), and skinned/split (dhuli) — each serving different culinary and processing needs across diaspora and Western health-food markets.
Compliance & Quality Standards for Japan
Japan maintains some of the world's most stringent food safety and residue standards, enforced by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) under the Food Sanitation Act. All food imports are subject to inspection by Japan's quarantine stations and must comply with Japan's Positive List system for agricultural chemical residues, which sets MRLs far more stringent than Codex standards for many substances. IndianXporter coordinates pre-shipment residue testing at NABL-accredited or Japan-approved laboratories and provides detailed pesticide use records to support Japanese customs clearance. The Japan Agricultural Standards (JAS) label is required for organic products. Plant products require phytosanitary certification from India's NPPO and may be subject to pest risk assessment under Japan's Plant Protection Law. Japanese buyers typically request detailed COA per lot, microbiological test reports, and allergen declarations in Japanese, which IndianXporter can coordinate. At IndianXporter, we ensure every batch of black gram exceeds the quality expectations of Japan importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.

Before quoting Japan buyers, we track the same factors that move global black gram FOB rates:
- India Kharif and Rabi crop outcome in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra — the primary supply driver
- Myanmar export pricing — a key alternative origin setting the bulk benchmark
- Pesticide MRL and organic compliance — clean and NPOP lots command premiums
- Diaspora festival demand cycles lifting branded urad dal volume
- USD/INR exchange rate — INR depreciation improves Indian FOB competitiveness
