About Lobia (Black-Eye Beans)

Black-eye beans, known in India as lobia and internationally as cowpea, are a high-volume line into West Africa, the Gulf, the UK and the Caribbean, where they move through both retail packs and canning lines. RNG Agro Exports sources from Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan and supplies standard, bold and red cowpea varieties.

Why buyers choose RNG Agro Exports as their Lobia exporter in India

Cowpea is among the most weevil-prone pulses in storage, so consignments are fumigated under supervision immediately before stuffing and a fumigation certificate is issued with the documents. Material is machine cleaned, size graded and sortex sorted for colour uniformity, and each shipment carries a Certificate of Analysis covering moisture, purity, damaged percentage and pesticide residues.

Varieties and end uses

Cream-white black-eye is the mainstream retail and canning grade. Bold size-graded material serves premium retail and canners. Red and brown cowpea varieties are shipped to West African and Caribbean retail markets where those types are preferred.

Packaging and private label

Packed in 25 kg and 50 kg PP woven or jute bags, with BOPP printed retail bags produced in-house under your brand and regulatory text.
