Export demand for Indian chickpeas has picked up sharply, driven by tightening global supplies and competitive pricing. Traders report increased inquiries from key markets across the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Asia, where buyers are seeking reliable sources amid fluctuating production in other major exporting countries.
India’s strong harvest and ample availability have positioned it as a preferred supplier, helping exporters capitalise on favourable market conditions. The rise in demand is also supported by shifting consumption patterns and steady demand from food processing industries that rely on chickpeas as a key ingredient.
Market participants expect export momentum to remain firm in the near term, although price movements and currency fluctuations could influence buying trends. With global supply dynamics still evolving, Indian exporters are likely to continue benefiting from sustained overseas interest.
