Introduction

Source your next container of white kidney beans directly from Egypt — graded to size, cleaned and sorted to meet your exact specifications for canning, food manufacturing, retail repacking, or food service supply.

White kidney beans are a graded commodity, and buyers compare offers on a short list of numbers: size count, moisture, foreign matter, and purity. Size is the first of those — it determines how the bean behaves in a can and how it looks in a finished pack, which is why canners specify it before anything else.

Egypt grows two crops a year — a winter crop from November–December and a summer crop from April–May, which supports continuity of supply rather than a single annual harvest window.

Available Forms & Grades

White kidney beans, graded by size count:

• 180–200 pieces per 100 grams — the larger grade
• 200–220 pieces per 100 grams — the standard grade

Size count is how this product is specified in the trade. Tell us which grade and size your process needs, or send a sample of what you currently buy, and we will match it.

Quality parameters:

• Moisture: Typically 13–14%, depending on destination and storage requirements
• Whole beans with good physical condition and minimal cracks or splits
• Natural colour and uniform size
• Free from foreign seeds, excessive impurities, and significant insect damage

Note: Dried kidney beans must be properly cooked before consumption. This is a raw agricultural commodity supplied for food processing and preparation.

Quality & Certifications

We stand behind the quality of our white kidney beans because we build long-term supply partnerships.

For independent verification, we accept third-party inspection by SGS or another inspection company of your choice, at the buyer’s expense.

Our certificates and registrations include:

• NFSA registered with the Egyptian Food Safety Authority
• ISO 9001 & ISO 22000 certified for quality and food safety management
• FDA, DUNS, GACC (China), and MFDS (Korea) registered

Review our full ISO and FDA certifications to streamline your import clearance

Processing controls: White kidney beans are processed using Sortex optical sorting to remove discoloured, cracked, damaged, and defective beans, combined with pre-cleaning and destoning to remove dust, stones, and foreign matter. Final size grading is adjusted according to the customer’s required bean count and specifications, followed by metal detection before packing.

Beyond certificates, we rely on our family experience and reputation. Our roots in the herb trade go back to 1960, beginning with our grandfather. We protect that reputation with every shipment and seek lasting relationships with importers.

Shipping, Export Coordination & Documentation

Shipping & Logistics:

• FOB, CFR, and CIF Incoterms, with loading from Port Said, Alexandria, Damietta, and Sokhna ports
• Cost-effective shipping arrangements through our freight partners

Export Documentation:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Certificate of Origin (COO)
• Official Phytosanitary Certificate
• Bill of Lading (BL)
• Fumigation Certificate when required
• War Risk Insurance for 40′ containers, covered by EIC

Silica gel is placed inside the container to help control humidity and protect the quality of the white kidney beans during transit.

Packaging, Shelf Life & Storage

Packing Configurations:

• 25 kg / 50 kg Polypropylene (PP) bags for standard bulk packing
• Customized B2B packing and private labelling available on request

Shelf Life: Up to 24 months when stored under recommended conditions.

Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry environment, away from humidity and pests. Pulses are more vulnerable to insect activity than milled products, so fumigation and sealed storage matter.

Supply Capacity & What Affects Kidney Bean Price

Supply Capacity:

• MOQ: 24 MT — typically 1 × 20′ FCL. Beans are dense, so containers reach weight capacity rather than filling by volume.
• Two crops annually — Summer Crop: April–May | Winter Crop: November–December
• Regular monthly shipping availability
• Contract-based programs for continuous annual-volume supply

What Affects Kidney Bean Price:

• Size grade. 180–200 and 200–220 /100 grams counts are priced separately, and quotes at different counts are not comparable.
• Purity. Available with Sortex processing at up to 99% purity or lower processing grades according to the customer’s requirements. Each purity grade is quoted at a different price.
• Packaging configuration — jumbo bags are priced differently from 25 kg sacks
• Timing: Ordering during the white beans harvest period can offer more competitive pricing. Harvest Calendar
• Order volume and contract term

Because kidney bean prices vary with these factors, we quote each shipment individually rather than publish a fixed rate. For better planning, check our Egyptian Herbs, Spices, Seeds & Legumes Harvest Calendar to understand seasonal timing. Send us your specifications and destination port for an accurate quotation within 24 hours.

FAQs

Q1. Who are we? We are a third-generation family business established in 2007, with family roots in the herb trade going back to 1960. We process our products in two facilities: manual processing for delicate products and mechanized sorting and processing.

Q2. What size grades do you supply? 180–200 pieces per 100 grams and 200–220 pieces per 100 grams. Size count is how white kidney beans are specified in the trade — it determines both how the bean performs in a can and how it looks in the finished pack. Tell us your count, or send a sample and we will match it.

Q3. When is the Egyptian crop available? Egypt grows two crops a year — summer from April to May, and winter from Nov. to Dec. That supports continuity of supply rather than a single annual harvest window.

Q4. Are green beans and kidney beans the same plant? Both come from Phaseolus vulgaris, but they are different products. Green beans are the immature pod, eaten fresh. White kidney beans are the mature dried seed, supplied as a raw commodity for industrial processing and requiring full cooking.

Q5. What should I specify when ordering? Size count, purity, volume, POD, and packing format. If that is more detail than you have on hand, send us a sample of what you currently buy.

Q6. Can I arrange independent inspection? Yes, and we encourage it. SGS or an equivalent third party can inspect any container before shipment. You can also verify through a factory visit or video verification, and follow your shipment through our export process. Explore Our Process

Q7. Do you seek long-term relationships with buyers? Yes. We serve customers across 21 countries spanning the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, the Gulf region, and Australia. We want every first shipment, and every shipment that follows, to strengthen trust and build a lasting partnership.

Q8. Do you work with brokers or commission-based agents? No. We do not work with brokers or commission-based intermediaries. We deal directly with the consignee and the actual buyer.

Q9. Do you supply the local market? No. We supply export markets only.
