Chickpea Acreage and Yield Analysis
Chickpeas (chana) are the largest pulse crop cultivated in India during the winter (Rabi) season. Sowing acreage in key producing states like Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan has shown varied results due to uneven soil moisture levels at planting.# Desi vs. Kabuli Market Trends
While Desi chickpea prices remain firm, Kabuli chickpeas (larger, cream-colored seeds) have seen high demand in export markets like North America and the Middle East, leading to premium pricing.# BioUrja\'s Direct Procurement
