Buying at the right moment
Pulses are a seasonal, weather-driven crop. Being at origin means buying when the crop is right rather than when a trader offers it on.
Two ways to buy
Bulk or packed
Containers in 25kg and 50kg bags, or retail packs under our NITRA label or yours, packed at Ras Al Khor, Dubai.
