About this product

Pigeon peas tolerate drought and heat, which makes them a reliable crop in drier parts of Africa. Most import demand comes from India, where processors dehull and split them into toor dal, one of the country’s staple pulses.

Pigeon pea maturity depends on variety and planting date, so Hajuta confirms dry-seed availability and admixture for each lot before contract.

Hajuta confirms final specifications for each lot against the agreed pre-shipment sample.
