Size sells chickpeas, and Egyptian kabuli chickpeas deliver it: uniform calibres from 8 mm up to the premium 12 mm count, with the pale cream colour and thin skin that retail packers and hummus producers specify. Nile Prime, the export arm of PEI Trade, supplies graded kabuli chickpeas in container volumes to importers and distributors worldwide — B2B only, with every lot calibrated and sortex-cleaned before loading.
Why Egyptian Chickpeas?
Egypt combines dependable irrigation, experienced growers and modern calibration lines, producing kabuli chickpeas with consistent size distribution and low defect rates. Compared with distant origins, Egyptian cargo reaches Mediterranean, Gulf and East African ports in days rather than weeks, cutting freight cost and inventory risk while keeping the crop fresh in appearance and cooking quality.

FAQ
Can I order more than one calibre in a container?
Yes. Our MOQ is one 20 ft container, and we routinely load two or more calibres — or chickpeas alongside other legumes — in the same box.
How do I verify quality before shipment?
We send lot samples by courier, and you may appoint SGS or Intertek for independent pre-shipment inspection at our cost structure agreed in the contract.
