News Capsule: Chickpea Market: Global Tone Turns Weaker
★ Global chickpea markets ended the week on a weaker note, as rising competition among exporting origins put pressure on prices amid limited available demand.
★ In Australia, the domestic desi chickpea market showed some firmness. This was mainly due to exporters actively covering shipping commitments for December and the first half of January, which supported near-term buying.
★ On the other hand, doubts persist over the depth of demand from India in the first quarter of calendar year 2026. This comes at a time when a significant increase in production on the Indian subcontinent during the current rabi season is considered unlikely.
★ Overall, subdued demand and intensifying competition among exporters have kept the global chickpea market under a soft undertone.
