2,000 MT Kabuli Chickpeas to India
Bulk supply of 8mm+ Kabuli chickpeas to an Indian dal processor during the 2024 off-season, when domestic Indian supply was tight.
Project Overview
Project Overview
India is both the largest producer and consumer of chickpeas globally. During the 2024 off-season, domestic supply tightened significantly, and Indian importers turned to Ethiopian origins.
Challenge
The buyer needed 2,000 MT within a 6-week delivery window — an aggressive timeline requiring rapid sourcing, processing, and shipping from Ethiopia.
Our Solution
We activated our pulse procurement network across North Shewa and Arsi zones. Chickpeas were cleaned and graded at our processing facility in Modjo. We chartered additional trucking capacity to Djibouti port and secured vessel space in advance.
Results
- Full 2,000 MT delivered within 5 weeks — ahead of schedule
- 8mm+ sizing confirmed on 98% of bags
- Bureau Veritas inspection passed on all 100 containers
- Buyer placed follow-on order for 3,000 MT in next season
