Lakshmi Commodities moves Canadian-origin pulses to buyers on every inhabited continent. Our programmes run across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America — the regions where Canadian lentils, chickpeas and peas are in steady demand. Whichever destination port you trade through, we handle sourcing, grading, container loading, documentation and vessel coordination, and quote firm CIF or CPT pricing against that port.
01
Asia
Asia is the heart of the global pulse trade and our most active destination region. India is the world's largest importer of pulses, while Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka run steady year-round demand for lentils and chickpeas. We quote and ship full container programmes to the region's main discharge ports, with CGC grade and weight certification and CFIA phytosanitary certification issued against each destination's import requirements.
Products: Red Lentils, Green Lentils, Kabuli Chickpeas, Yellow Peas
02
Middle East
The Gulf combines a large direct consumption market with a re-export corridor into Iran, Iraq and the wider region. Buyers here value predictable grading and clean documentation, and frequently order on repeat monthly schedules. We structure shipments for both retail packing houses and wholesale traders, with container liners available for larger single-commodity loads.
Products: Kabuli Chickpeas, Red Lentils, Green Lentils
03
Africa
Across East, West, North and Southern Africa, pulses are a daily staple and import volumes are growing with urban populations. Red lentils and yellow peas move particularly well through East and West African ports. We work with importers who need dependable container supply and documentation that clears customs without delay, and we build shipping schedules around longer transit routings from the Pacific coast.
Products: Red Lentils, Yellow Peas, Green Lentils
04
Latin America
Latin America is a fast-expanding destination for Canadian pulses, driven by retail packing, food service and plant-protein demand along the Pacific coast and into Brazil and Mexico. Transit times are longer than to Asia, so we plan vessel windows and container availability early and confirm the destination port before contracting, keeping delivery dates firm for the buyer.
Products: Kabuli Chickpeas, Green Lentils, Yellow Peas
How we serve buyers worldwide
One origin, many destinations
Every cargo is Canadian-grown and CGC graded, no matter which destination port it is routed to. The quality, grading and paperwork stay identical — only the routing changes.
Port-specific planning
We confirm the destination port, transit routing and the buyer's import requirements before contracting, so delivery windows hold and documents clear customs the first time.
Repeat programmes, not one-off loads
Regular buyers across all four regions run monthly or seasonal container schedules with us, with grade, packing and pricing locked in advance.
Trade Terms We Offer
CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight) — quoted against your nominated destination port
CPT (Carriage Paid To) — where the buyer arranges insurance or onward carriage
Payment: we offer various payment options — the structure is confirmed with your quote.
We trade and export Canadian-origin pulses across four main regions: Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. Enquiries from other destinations are welcome — we confirm port pairings, vessel routings and documentation feasibility before quoting.
Can you ship to a destination port we have not quoted you before?
In most cases yes. Send us the destination port and quantity and we check the container routing and the destination country's import requirements, then quote CIF or CPT against that port.
What documentation accompanies an export shipment?
CGC official certificate of grade and weight, CFIA phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, bill of lading, commercial invoice and packing list. Third-party pre-shipment inspection by SGS or Intertek can be arranged where the buyer requires it.
How are prices quoted for different destinations?
We quote firm CIF or CPT pricing per full container load against your target port and quantity, so freight, insurance and carriage are fixed in the offer rather than added later.
What payment terms do you accept from overseas buyers?
We offer various payment options and agree the structure that suits your transaction. Terms are confirmed with your quote once quantity, destination and buyer history are established.
