Built on the trading floors of Saurashtra
Flow Trade Exim was founded in Rajkot, Gujarat — a city that sits within a day's drive of India's busiest pulse mandis and its two largest dry-bulk ports, Mundra and Kandla. That geography is the foundation of our business: we source close to the farm and ship close to the sea.
What began as a domestic trading operation supplying chickpeas and pigeon peas to regional millers has grown into a dedicated export company. Today we handle whole and split pulses, along with chickpea flour, for buyers across the Middle East, Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa and North America.
We remain a focused, owner-managed firm. That means quick decisions on pricing, direct access to the people who inspect your cargo, and a long-term view on every buyer relationship.

Our Mission
To make sourcing Indian pulses simple and dependable for international buyers — by delivering the specification that was agreed, in the packing that was promised, on the date that was quoted.
Our Vision
To be the preferred long-term pulses partner for importers in fifty countries — known for transparent grading, honest communication and consistency container after container.
The principles behind every shipment
Specification is a promise
The grade, purity and moisture we quote are the grade, purity and moisture we load. No substitutions, no surprises at destination.
Radical transparency
Lab reports, loading photos and container seal numbers are shared as they happen — before you ask.
Farmer-to-port traceability
We know which mill cleaned every lot and which crop season it came from, and we can tell you.
Speed with care
Fast quotes and fast stuffing never come at the expense of a skipped moisture test or an unchecked bag count.
Fair dealing
We price competitively, honour contracts through market swings and expect the same from our partners.
Long-term relationships
Most of our volume comes from repeat buyers. We would rather grow with ten importers than trade once with a hundred.
Processing partners equipped for export-grade output
We work with dedicated cleaning and milling units in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, each operating modern sortex and grading lines. Our team supervises processing and packing on site, so quality is controlled at the source rather than inspected afterwards.
Sorting
Optical colour sorters reject discoloured, damaged and foreign seeds at throughputs of several tonnes per hour, giving uniform colour across the lot.
Grading
Mechanical sieves separate pulses by size (e.g. Kabuli 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm counts) so each shipment meets the exact count your market prices on.
Cleaning
Multi-stage de-stoning, aspiration and magnetic separation bring dust, stones, stalks and metal fragments well below export tolerances.
Packing
Automatic weighing and stitching lines fill 25 kg / 50 kg PP, jute or BOPP bags to ±0.1 kg, with optional palletising and inner liners for humid destinations.
"Pulses are a trust business. Our buyers are often thousands of kilometres away and cannot see the cargo until it lands. Everything we do — the lab reports, the loading photos, the single point of contact — exists so they never have to wonder what is inside the container."Founder & Managing Partner — Flow Trade Exim, Rajkot
