Krishna Canvassers

The pulses desk between origin and mill.

We are a brokerage. Importers, millers and traders come to us for cargo they can price, contract and clear without surprises — and we have been doing it since 2013.

Other grades and origins on request — ask us what is moving this week.

We sit on both sides of the contract.

A pulses import goes wrong in small, expensive ways: a grade that reads fine on paper and looks different in the godown, a shipment that slips past the window, a supplier who stops answering when the market turns. Our job is to make sure none of that lands on you.

We hold long-standing relationships with shippers across the main origins and with buyers across the Indian trade. That means we know who is genuinely holding stock, who honours a contract when prices move against them, and what a fair number looks like on the day you are asked to commit.

We broker the deal, agree the terms and stay on the file until the cargo is delivered. We do not take positions against our own clients.

Five origins we work every season.

Each origin has its own paperwork, its own shipping rhythm and its own way of settling a quality dispute. We work all five regularly, so the differences are routine rather than a learning exercise on your cargo.

Myanmar

The backbone of the tur, urad and moong trade. Fast-moving, relationship-led, and the origin where knowing your counterparty matters most.

Australia

Consistent grading and clean documentation. Our usual route for desi chana and for buyers who want fewer quality arguments.

Canada

Large, well-organised shippers for lentils and yellow peas, with volumes that suit buyers contracting several months forward.

China

Beans and specialty lots. Supply is tight in some seasons, so timing the booking is half the work.

East & Southern Africa

Tanzania, Mozambique, Malawi and neighbours. Strong value when the crop is good, provided the shipper is one you already know.

How a deal runs through us.

  1. You tell us the requirement

    Commodity, grade, quantity, the window you need it in, and the port you want it at.

  2. We come back with real offers

    Live prices from shippers actually holding the goods, with the origin and terms against each, so you are comparing like with like.

  3. Terms get agreed in writing

    Quality specification, payment terms, shipment period, and what happens if the cargo does not match. Settled before anyone commits.

  4. Contract and documents

    Sale contract issued, LC or payment route set up, and shipping documents checked as they come through.

  5. Shipment, clearance, delivery

    We track the vessel and stay on the file through customs and delivery. If something needs chasing, we chase it.

Same desk, same name, since 2013.

Krishna Canvassers was established in 2013 and is the proprietorship of Rohit Poptani. Brokerage is a business built almost entirely on whether people pick up the phone to you a second time — so the record is the pitch.
