Export
The Pars Ram Group has a long and successful history spanning over 5 decades cementing relationships across the food sourcing spectrum. In the 1970s, Mr. Punj, saw a huge opportunity in Australia for producing whole chickpeas, split dals and chickpea flour, or Besan for export and pioneered the Australian pulse industry, taking it from a ‘stock feed’ product to one of Australia’s largest consumer exports. Pars Ram Brothers (PRB) was formed in 1977, following the foundation of PRB (Singapore) in 1960 and was the first company to export chickpeas to India in 1978.
Today, Parsram Exporters continues to be a major player in the exports of the Australian chickpea crop and our business has diversified into many other agri-commodity and trading opportunities. With major grain-handling facilities in Brisbane, including a pulse processing plant storage and access to shipping terminals, the company achieves competitive advantage by utilizing
farm site, inland and port side packaging. We offer shipment in charter vessels, containers, bulk and bags.
