Russia and Kazakhstan are significant lentil producers and exporters, supplying red (split and whole), green, and brown lentil varieties to global food markets. Russian lentils are valued for their high protein content (≥24%), rapid cooking time, and clean, uniform appearance. SFERA LLC sources certified lentils from Russian producers in the Saratov, Penza, and Orenburg regions with full quality analysis confirming protein, moisture (≤14%), foreign matter, and phytosanitary status. All consignments are Non-GMO certified and accompanied by a certificate of origin from TPP RF. Red split lentils are particularly in demand across South Asia, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
