They are a staple in retail frozen food aisles, extensively used in institutional catering, and serve as a key ingredient in various processed foods, including ready meals and mixed vegetable blends. Importers, ranging from supermarkets to food manufacturers, seek consistent supply and quality. Exporters benefit from efficient large-scale processing facilities and robust cold chain logistics, ensuring the peas retain their freshness and texture during international transit.
