As one of the region’s leading food import hubs, the United Arab Emirates is a dynamic market for premium-quality legumes. Among these, Iranian chickpeas stand out for their excellent texture, taste, and size—making them ideal for Emirati households, restaurants, and food industries.

Whether you’re a food distributor in Dubai, a processor in Sharjah, or a B2B buyer in Abu Dhabi, Tamila Agrifood is your go-to partner for bulk chickpeas supply from Iran to the UAE.

Why Iranian Chickpeas?

Chickpeas from Iran—especially the Kabuli variety—are known for:

•    Natural cultivation without chemicals or GMOs

•    Large, round shape with low split ratio

•    Stone-free, moisture-controlled processing

•    Longer shelf life & high protein content

•    Certified under ISO, HACCP & Halal standards

Iran's proximity to the UAE allows for fast and affordable logistics, giving buyers a competitive edge.
