About this product
Ethiopian farmers grow lupin, known locally as gibto, mainly in the northwestern highlands, where the crop tolerates poor, acidic soils. Its high protein draws interest from food ingredient, snack and animal-feed buyers.
Traditional lupin varieties contain bitter alkaloids that need soaking or processing before people can eat them. Hajuta confirms the lupin type, alkaloid status and current harvest timing for each lot before quoting.
Hajuta confirms final specifications for each lot against the agreed pre-shipment sample.
