Dry peas are one of the most widely grown pulses in temperate regions and an important source of plant protein for food, protein processing and animal feed. FUSHKOV GCG supplies yellow and green peas, whole and split, to buyers internationally on Incoterms 2020 terms.
Dry peas (Pisum sativum) are the mature, dried seeds of field pea varieties. They typically contain 20–25% protein on a dry basis, together with starch and fibre. Peas are sold whole or split: splitting removes the seed coat and separates the two halves of the seed, giving the split peas used in soups, dal and pea flour.

As food, dry peas are consumed mainly in South Asia, where yellow peas are split for dal and milled into flour. Pea protein isolates and concentrates, extracted mainly from yellow peas, are used in plant-based meat and dairy alternatives and in sports nutrition. Feed-grade peas are used in rations for pigs and poultry. Major exporters include Canada, Russia, Australia, Ukraine and the United States; major importers include India, China and Bangladesh.
Dry peas are shipped in bulk, in big bags or in 25–50 kg bags, by sea, rail or multimodal routes. Split peas for food use are usually packed in bags.
Both are dry field peas with similar protein content. Yellow peas are the main class for split peas, dal and protein extraction; green peas are chosen where green colour matters, such as snacks, canning and split green peas.
Split peas are dry peas with the seed coat removed and the seed separated into two halves. They cook faster than whole peas and are widely used in soups and dal.
Dried, shelled peas (Pisum sativum) are classified under HS 0713 10. The final classification of a lot is confirmed by the customs declarant.
