Yellow Peas — A Versatile Global Commodity
Yellow peas (Pisum sativum) are one of the world's most widely traded pulse crops, valued for their high protein content (22–25%), excellent amino acid profile, low fat content and versatile end uses across food, feed and industrial processing sectors.
India produces significant quantities of field peas and exports both whole and split yellow peas to buyers across South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. Indian yellow peas compete on price with Canadian and Australian origin in global markets while meeting the quality specifications required by food manufacturers and animal feed compounders.
Product Forms Available
Whole Yellow Peas — Cleaned, sorted and graded. Used in direct human consumption (soups, stews, dal preparations), animal feed and sprouting. Available in 50kg bags or bulk container loading.
Split Yellow Peas (Matar Dal) — De-husked and split. Higher digestibility and faster cooking time. Used in packaged food manufacturing, soup mixes, snack coatings and institutional food service. Available in 25kg and 50kg PP bags.
Yellow Pea Flour — Ground split peas. Growing demand from plant-based food manufacturers for protein enrichment, gluten-free baking and extruded snack applications. Available upon request with minimum lead time.
Key Applications and Markets
Human Food — Dal preparations, soups, stews, snack foods, protein-enriched flour blends and plant-based meat analogues. The plant-based protein trend has significantly increased demand for yellow pea protein isolates and concentrates derived from split peas.
Animal Feed — A high-protein, low-antinutrient ingredient for poultry, swine and aquaculture feed formulations. Preferred over soybean meal in certain European markets due to non-GMO status and lower carbon footprint of supply chain.
Export Markets — Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Malaysia and European animal feed compounders are the primary markets for Indian yellow peas.
