Australia’s Black Chickpeas (Kala Chana) have become a trusted name in the global legume trade. Known for uniform size, deep color, and high nutritional value, these chickpeas are one of the most demanded pulses in Bangladesh’s import market. With the new season’s crop freshly harvested, Australian exporters are now offering competitive prices on bulk shipments under CFR Chittagong terms.
Why Australian Black Chickpeas Lead the Market
Most important, Australian black chickpeas are grown under strict agricultural standards that ensure top-grade quality. Because of advanced farming and low pesticide usage, the final product is cleaner, heavier, and more nutrient-rich than many regional alternatives.
These chickpeas are ideal for roasting, milling into besan flour, or direct cooking. Besides that, they hold texture well after boiling, making them perfect for traditional Bangladeshi dishes such as chola bhuna and dal curry.
