About Turkish Gram

Turkish gram (Cicer arietinum var. kabuli or larger-seeded chickpea), also called large chickpea or kabuli chana, is a legume with a larger seed size and thinner hull than Indian desi chickpea. Despite the name 'Turkish,' the crop is widely grown across India — particularly in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and parts of Maharashtra — alongside production in Turkey, Australia, and Canada. Turkish gram is exported for both fresh-use (hummus, refried preparations) and processing (flour, roasting). India is among the world's largest chickpea producers (~9–10 million tonnes) and a growing exporter of kabuli varieties.

Compliance & Quality Standards for Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is one of the top five destinations for Indian food exports, with significant demand for spices, rice, pulses, and fresh produce. All food shipments require registration with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) and a valid SABER certificate issued through the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) eSABER portal. Halal certification is mandatory across all food categories and must be from an SFDA-approved international Halal certification body. IndianXporter handles the full SFDA product registration workflow, including product data submission, lab test report coordination, and Certificate of Conformity (CoC) from a Saudi-approved inspection body. Arabic labeling must comply with GSO 9 GCC Unified Standards. COO certificates must be attested by the Saudi Embassy in India before export. At IndianXporter, we ensure every batch of turkish gram exceeds the quality expectations of Saudi Arabia importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.
