Kabuli Chickpea Prices See Minor Fluctuations
★ Last week, the global Kabuli chickpea market saw very little change in prices.
★ Markets are still waiting for a full picture of North American yields and quality.
★ In Saskatchewan (Canada), harvest progress is slow due to repeated rains.
★ Because of rain and high humidity, the quality of standing cereal crops is deteriorating and sprouting is increasing, which has heightened quality concerns.
★ Since 88% of Canada’s chickpea production is in Saskatchewan, there is growing worry that a large share of the crop may only be suitable for the animal-feed market.
★ If the Canadian crop is affected, Indian demand for imported Kabuli chickpeas may emerge, which could support prices.
