Turkey has become one of the largest chickpea importers in the Middle East, importing nearly 280,000 metric tons in 2024 alone. Whether you're a food distributor, packaging company, or an international trader, sourcing high-quality chickpeas at competitive prices is crucial. At Tamila Agrifood, we offer premium-grade Iranian chickpeas with tailored logistics and regulatory support for Turkish importers.

Why Turkish Buyers Prefer Iranian Chickpeas?

Iran is known for its naturally sun-dried chickpeas, especially Kabuli-type varieties that are:

•    Large-sized and round

•    Clean, stone-free, and low in moisture

•    Grown without GMOs

•    Packed under international food safety standards (ISO, HACCP)

Tamila Agrifood delivers chickpeas in bulk (25kg, 50kg PP bags, or jumbo bags) from Iran to Turkey with flexible pricing and direct exporter support.
