Request a pulse sourcing quoteA strong source — but the calendar has to be read correctly
Türkiye is the world's third-largest red lentil exporter: around 626.5 million US dollars and 648 thousand tonnes in 2024, roughly 16.3% of global exports. That is a strong base, but this category has a feature that deserves stating plainly — Türkiye can apply a periodic export-quota regime on red lentils and chickpeas to protect domestic supply. That is why a serious supplier's first job here is not to promise volume but to check the quota position for the period in question. In this category TeraVella provides sourcing management; we do not claim to own a mill or a processing plant.

How the process runs
Brief and quota check
Product, calibration, packaging and destination market are defined; in the same step the current export-quota position is checked and a realistic timeline is worked out together.
Producer verification and sampling
A producer matching the brief is verified, samples and batch analyses are shared, and once approved the specification is put in writing.
Documented shipment
Batch documents and export paperwork are prepared, and any additional destination requirements are confirmed before shipping.

Do you process the pulses yourselves?
No. In this category our service is sourcing management: we verify a producer matching your brief, track batch analyses, and manage packaging and shipping as your single point of contact. We make no claim to a mill or processing plant of our own.
How strong a source is Türkiye in pulses?
In red lentils Türkiye is the world's third-largest exporter, accounting for roughly 16.3% of global exports in 2024 with around 626.5 million US dollars and 648 thousand tonnes.
What does the export quota mean in practice?
Türkiye can apply a periodic export-quota regime on red lentils and chickpeas to protect domestic supply. That does not make sourcing impossible, but it means volume commitments have to be given against the quota position at the time. We check this in the first step and do not promise a timeline we cannot hold.
Which technical parameters are defined?
Parameters such as calibration, screen size, purity and moisture are defined by the brief and reported through batch-level analysis documents. Which values matter most depends on your end use.
Can you pack under our own brand?
Yes. Private-label packing can be arranged across bulk sack and retail formats, with format and labelling defined per project.
What are the MOQ and price?
Volume and price depend on product, calibration, packaging, season, quota position and delivery terms. We publish no fixed figures and prepare a current, verified quotation for each brief.
