In the dynamic world of international trade, staying ahead of market trends is essential for sustained growth. A report by Zion Market Research projected a promising outlook for the organic chickpea market: a value of 2.4 billion US dollars by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 14.2 percent.

Why organic chickpeas?

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are nutrient-dense legumes that have been a dietary staple for centuries. What sets organic chickpeas apart is cultivation without synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, making them a preferred choice for health-conscious consumers. Packed with protein, fibre and essential nutrients, they are versatile in the kitchen and contribute to a balanced, wholesome diet.

India at the centre of supply

In the 2021-22 season India produced 13.75 million tonnes of chickpeas, accounting for nearly half of the country's total pulse production. The major contributing states include Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. For international buyers, that concentration of supply makes India the natural place to source.
