Peas

Dried Peas (Pisum sativum) are a significant and growing segment of global B2B pulse trade, valued for their high plant-based protein (22-25%), dietary fibre, and the broad industrial versatility that positions them at the intersection of the human food, pet food, and functional ingredient markets. India produces peas as a Rabi (winter) crop concentrated in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh, with harvest between January and April. Whole dried peas and split peas are exported across a $2.5-3.2 billion annual global market growing at 7-9% CAGR, driven by the plant-based protein transition, expansion of pea protein concentrate and isolate manufacturing, and strong institutional demand from the North American soup and ready-meal sector. India competes against Canada — the world's largest pea exporter by a wide margin — by offering competitive pricing on regional lanes to South Asia, the Gulf, and Middle Eastern buyers who value proximity and flexible lot sizing.

Two principal export grades define Indian pea trade. Whole Dried Peas — green or yellow varieties, 12% moisture maximum, 99%+ sortex-cleaned purity — serve traditional soup manufacturing in the USA and Canada, livestock and pet food formulations globally, and directly cooked food-service applications. Split Peas — dehulled and split, faster-cooking and starch-rich — are the preferred form for instant soup manufacturing, dry-mix food products, and pea starch and pea protein extraction. Organic NPOP-certified split and whole peas are available for premium functional food buyers in North America and Europe where clean-label plant protein commands 30-50% premiums over conventional commodity lots. All export shipments are tested for pesticide residues compliant with EU Regulation EC 396/2005, with special attention to glyphosate and organophosphate residues that are the primary compliance concerns for European and North American market entry.

B2B buyers include soup and ready-meal manufacturers in the USA, UK, Canada, and Germany requiring consistent, bright-coloured split peas for high-volume production; pea protein extraction facilities in Europe and North America sourcing functional-grade whole peas for isolation of protein concentrate and isolate; pet-food manufacturers incorporating peas as a carbohydrate source and protein booster in grain-free pet formulations; and South Asian diaspora food companies packaging traditional pea dishes for ethnic grocery markets in the Gulf and UK. Shipments depart from Nhava Sheva, Mundra, and Kandla in 25-50 kg PP, BOPP-laminated, or jute bags and 1 MT bulk jumbo sacks under FOB, CIF, CFR, and DAP Incoterms with 15-30 day lead times.
