Facts and Operational Judgments

Item IdentityPeas are dried mature pea seeds, serving as a raw legume. They are distributed for use in rice dishes, boiled dishes, stews, porridge, soups, powders, and mixed grains.
Difference from No. 019Unlike the fresh, frozen, canned, and protein ingredients of No. 019, No. 020 is managed based on the shelf life, moisture content, defective grains, boilability, and suitability for mixed grains of dried raw materials.
Key purchasing criteriaOrigin, harvest year, variety/color, particle size, moisture, broken/discolored grains, foreign matter, insect damage, soaking/boiling properties, packaging and storage history.
Major demand sourcesIt is a manufacturer of grain retail, private brand mixed grains, school meals, dining out, porridge, soup, braised side dishes, powders, and processed foods.
Supply Chain RiskThe main risks are old inventory, failure to manage moisture, foreign matter or damage, unclear harvest year, and mixing of specifications for rice and processing.
Safety and MarkingPeas are classified as legumes in the plant-based ingredient classification on the Food Safety Korea website. Information regarding pesticide residues, import declarations, country of origin, and processed food labeling must be checked for each product and lot.  Food Safety Korea
MarketHub RoleBy connecting production/import, sorting, inspection, small packaging/processing, buyer specifications, and repurchase information, it transforms simple grain sales into legume RFQs capable of recurring transactions.

The key to peas is not “how cheaply dried peas are supplied.”  The standard for the transaction is whether lots suitable for specific uses—such as rice, boiling, powder, or soup—are supplied reliably .
