Pulses & Food Security
How Brazil Commodities Supports Global Supply Chains
Strategic Pulses for Global Food Security
Pulses play a critical role in global food security, nutrition, and sustainable agriculture. As populations grow and supply chains become increasingly exposed to geopolitical, climatic, and logistical risks, securing reliable access to essential commodities is no longer optional — it is strategic.
Brazil Commodities works alongside international companies, governments, and institutional buyers to develop robust, transparent, and resilient supply chains for key pulses, with a strong focus on:
• Sesame Seeds
• Black Matpe (Black Mung Beans)
• Green Mung Beans
Brazil’s agricultural scale, counter-seasonal production, and expanding infrastructure make it a powerful partner in ensuring long-term food availability to importing nations.
WHY BRAZIL?
Brazil offers a unique combination of advantages for pulse production and export:
• Large availability of arable land and scalable production
• Increasing adoption of modern farming practices
• Strong logistics corridors to major ports
• Counter-seasonal supply versus Asia and Africa
• Ability to structure long-term off-take and contract farming
Brazil Commodities bridges international demand with Brazilian origin, ensuring consistency, traceability, and commercial reliability.
OUR FOCUS PULSES
Sesame Seeds
Brazilian sesame is increasingly recognised for its quality, oil content, and suitability for food, confectionery, tahini, and industrial applications. We support white, natural, and hulled sesame programmes tailored to destination market specifications.
Black Matpe (Black Mung Beans)
A strategic staple for Asian and African markets, black matpe is critical for food security, processing, and protein intake. Brazil provides diversification away from concentrated origins, reducing supply risk.
Green Mung Beans
Used widely in food processing, sprouting, noodles, and consumer markets, green mung beans from Brazil offer competitive quality and scalable volumes with reliable logistics.
