🇸🇦 Export Markets
Bulk Pulses Supplier for Middle East Distributors
GCC and Levant markets — KSA, UAE, Jordan and Lebanon — consume large volumes of pulses across retail, foodservice and food manufacturing.
Why the Middle East Buys Egyptian Pulses
The Middle East is one of Admiral Agro's most important export regions. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Jordan share a culinary heritage built on hummus (chickpeas), ful medames (fava beans), lentil soup and sesame-based products (tahini, halva, sesame oil). Demand is year-round with major peaks before Ramadan.
Middle Eastern buyers range from Gulf commodity trading companies importing full container loads for wholesale distribution, to direct-buying food manufacturers in Saudi Arabia, UAE and Jordan producing hummus, tahini, packaged legumes and ready meals. Dubai (Jebel Ali) acts as a regional distribution hub for GCC and Levant markets.
GCC countries apply a unified customs tariff. Documentation requirements: Phytosanitary Certificate, GOEIC Certificate of Origin, Certificate of Analysis and Halal certificate (mandatory for food products entering Saudi Arabia and most GCC markets). SGS or Intertek pre-loading inspection can be arranged on request.
