Pulse and Grain Export Quality Standards

Export quality for Indian pulses and grains requires compliance with FSSAI food safety standards and destination country import regulations. Key parameters checked: Moisture content (typically 12-14% max), Foreign matter (0.5-1% max), Weevil and insect infestation (nil), Broken grains percentage, Aflatoxin levels (B1 max 5-10 ppb depending on destination), Fumigation (methyl bromide or phosphine treatment at origin), and Phytosanitary Certificate from NPPO India. For the EU and USA, additional pesticide residue testing is mandatory.

Seasonal Availability and Price Trends for Indian Pulses

Indian pulse prices follow harvest seasonality. Chickpea (rabi crop) harvest is March-May — prices are typically lowest from April to June. Pigeon peas (kharif crop) harvest runs November-January. Moong and Urad (kharif crop) harvest from August-October. Basmati rice harvests September-November. Buyers who place forward orders (3-4 months before peak demand) during harvest season secure the best prices. Aarav Broking monitors price trends and alerts regular buyers when seasonal pricing windows are optimal.
