Four C Agricultural Limited exports quality Tanzanian lentils to Indian dal manufacturers, food processors, and pulse trading companies. Consistent supply to complement India's massive domestic lentil market.
India is the world's largest lentil consumer, with dal serving as a daily staple for hundreds of millions. While India is also a major producer, domestic supply frequently falls short — particularly for specific lentil types — creating consistent import requirements from global sources.
Tanzanian lentils offer Indian importers a quality-competitive supply option via efficient Indian Ocean shipping routes. Our lentils are cleaned to 98%+ purity and graded for uniform sizing, performing well in dal milling, food processing, and institutional supply applications.
All documentation conforms to Indian import requirements including Plant Quarantine Order compliance, FSSAI food safety standards, and quality analysis certificates.
