About Chickpeas
Chickpeas is a key traded product within our Pulses & Beans division and one of the most requested lines by importers, distributors and manufacturers we serve across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Meridian Global operates as a specialist intermediary and exporter: we do not simply resell — we build long-term supply relationships with accredited producers in India, Mexico, Argentina, audit their facilities, and take responsibility for the full export cycle so that our clients receive consistent, contract-grade product every shipment. Global demand for chickpeas continues to grow as supply chains diversify and buyers seek transparent, compliant sourcing partners. Our role is to remove complexity: you place one order with a UK-registered company and we manage origin negotiation, quality assurance, documentation, financing terms and delivery to your nominated port or door.
Quality, Grades & Standards
Every consignment of chickpeas is offered against clearly defined specifications and is independently inspected before shipment. Available grades include Machine cleaned 99.9% purity, Sortex / hand-picked, Splits & whole. Pre-shipment inspection is carried out by internationally recognised agencies such as SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek, and a full Certificate of Analysis accompanies each lot. We align to relevant international standards for pulses & beans, and where your destination market imposes additional requirements — phytosanitary controls, halal certification, veterinary health attestation or REACH compliance — we arrange the correct certificates in advance so your cargo clears customs without delay.
Origins & Sourcing
We source chickpeas primarily from India, Mexico, Argentina. Multiple approved origins give our buyers resilience against seasonal shortages, price spikes and logistical disruption: if one origin is constrained, we can pivot to an alternative without breaking your supply. Our origin teams monitor crop cycles, production runs, freight availability and currency movements to time purchases advantageously on your behalf, and we are transparent about the origin of every lot we ship.

Production of export-grade chickpeas follows a controlled process from raw material intake through processing, grading, quality testing and packing.
