If you are a food distributor, importer, or supply chain manager looking for bulk split peas in Ethiopia, you are in the right place. As demand for protein-rich legumes grows in East Africa, especially in urban and institutional food sectors, Ethiopia is turning into a significant destination for bulk pulse imports — especially split peas.

At Tamila Agrifood, one of Iran’s most reliable agrifood exporters, we specialize in supplying high-quality Iranian split peas at competitive prices with full export support — from documentation to shipping.

Why Ethiopian Buyers Prefer Iranian Split Peas?

Iranian split peas are well-known in international markets due to their:

•    High protein content and natural yellow color

•    Consistent size and low moisture levels

•    Clean packaging, free from stones and foreign materials

•    Compliance with global food safety and quality standards

Given the nutritional needs in Ethiopia and growing health-conscious trends, Iranian split peas offer an ideal balance of quality and affordability for the Ethiopian market.
