Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Bi-weekly bulletin: Chickpeas: situation and outlook
Ottawa, Canada
September 1, 2006

In Canada, commercial chickpea production started in the mid-1990s and grew rapidly until reaching its peak of 455,000 tonnes (t) in 2001-2002. For the next three years production declined, but started recovering in 2005-2006. Canadian exports followed production trends and Canada became a major exporter of chickpeas, placing among the top five in the world. The value of Canadian chickpea exports declined from a high of $83 million (M) in 2001 to $37M in 2005. For 2006-2007, production and exports are expected to increase from 2005-2006, and prices are forecast to decrease for the kabuli type and increase for the desi type. This issue of the Bi-weekly Bulletin examines the situation and outlook for chickpeas.
