Our Services

Reliable Sourcing:

Reliable sourcing of green gram beans (mung beans) in India begins by partnering with farmers and suppliers from regions known for producing high-quality mung beans, such as Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. These regions provide the ideal soil, temperature, and rainfall conditions necessary for cultivating nutrient-rich mung beans. Suppliers who follow Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and employ organic farming methods ensure that the beans are grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Collaborating with certified suppliers guarantees that the mung beans are harvested at peak maturity to retain their nutritional value and flavor. Traceability and transparency in the supply chain are critical, ensuring sustainable and ethical sourcing from farm to market.

Premium Quality Assurance:

To maintain premium quality, green gram beans undergo rigorous quality checks throughout the supply chain. The first step is testing for size, color, and uniformity, ensuring the beans meet industry standards. Moisture content is carefully monitored to keep it below 12%, preventing spoilage during storage and transportation. The beans are also tested for contaminants like pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial agents. Quality assessments also include checking the beans for purity and cleanliness, with strict standards applied to remove any foreign matter, damaged, or discolored beans. Proper storage facilities, such as temperature-controlled warehouses, help prevent moisture buildup, insect infestation, and mold growth. Certification from ISO, HACCP, and FSSAI ensures adherence to global food safety and quality standards.

Processes:

The processing of green gram beans begins with harvesting at optimal maturity to ensure maximum nutritional benefits. After harvest, the beans are thoroughly cleaned using mechanical cleaners to remove dirt, stones, and foreign material. Next, the beans are sorted by size, color, and quality, discarding any damaged or undersized beans. In some cases, mung beans are dehulled and split to produce moong dal, used in various culinary applications. After sorting, the beans are dried to the appropriate moisture content, followed by grading based on size and quality. Throughout the process, the beans undergo several rounds of inspection for contaminants and quality assurance. Finally, the mung beans are packed in food-grade, airtight packaging to maintain freshness and are stored in cool, dry conditions before distribution. This ensures that the green gram beans retain their natural color, flavor, and nutritional integrity until they reach the consumer.

Packaging, Shipping & Delivery

Packaging:

Bags and Pouches:

For Green Gram Beans (Mung Beans), high-quality food-grade materials such as laminated multi-layer pouches (made of materials like PET, PE, BOPP, and Aluminum foil) are used. These bags are moisture-proof and help retain the freshness, flavor, and aroma of the spices. Zip-lock pouches, stand-up pouches, and resealable bags are also popular for smaller quantities.

Polypropylene (PP) Woven Bags:

These are the most common types of bags used for packaging large quantities (25 kg and 40 kg) of Green Gram Beans (Mung Beans). They are made of woven polypropylene material, which is strong, lightweight, and durable, providing excellent resistance to tearing and damage during handling and transport.

Laminated Bags:

For additional protection against moisture and humidity, PP woven bags can be laminated with a layer of plastic film. This lamination creates a barrier against moisture, ensuring the spices stay dry and fresh during transportation and storage.

Multi-Wall Paper Bags:

These bags consist of several layers of kraft paper, which provide strength and are often lined with a plastic or polyethylene layer to offer protection against moisture and humidity. They are environmentally friendly and widely used in many markets for exporting food products.

Vacuum-Sealed Packaging:

This type of packaging removes air from the package before sealing, which helps prevent oxidation and moisture build-up, preserving the quality and extending the shelf life of the spices.

Paper or Carton Boxes:

After the packaging, the smaller bags or pouches are placed in corrugated cardboard cartons or paper boxes. These cartons are sturdy, stackable, and protect the contents from physical damage during handling and transportation.

Palletization and Wrapping:

Cartons or sacks are often stacked on wooden or plastic pallets and wrapped with stretch film or shrink wrap. This provides stability, reduces the risk of damage during transport, and makes handling more efficient.

Export Documentation:

Handle all necessary export documentation, including phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin, and any specific certifications required by the importing country.

Efficient Shipping:

Partner with reliable freight forwarders and logistics companies to ensure timely and safe delivery of goods. Offer multiple shipping options (air, sea, or land) based on customer preferences.
