Dry Chick Peas Beside Other Pulses

Dry chick peas form their own FAO item here — counted apart from fellow pulses, which are never folded into these figures. The numbers capture food available for human consumption in the reference year; per-day grams divide the same supply by population.

Dry Chick Peas Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

In 2023, India had the largest listed dry chick peas supply at 9,027,731 tonnes, followed by Pakistan at 942,000 tonnes and Türkiye at 450,340 tonnes. India accounted for 71.7% of the 12,589,663 tonnes reported across 148 countries. Australia had the highest per-person figure at 18.13 grams per person per day. The FAO measure represents food available for human consumption, not actual intake.

Methodology

Every percentage here divides by the earlier endpoint year, across reporters holding values in both years. FAO Supply Utilization Accounts supply the tonnes (element 5141, food supply quantity) and the daily grams per person (element 665) — for chick peas, dry, 2019 through 2023. Supply available for human consumption in the reference year is what gets counted, not intake. Zero-base years yield no percentage; a zero reports zero and a blank reports nothing.

The tables admit reporters only — 149 of them held a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023 — with World, regional and China (aggregate) rows left out; China is the China reporter. Tonnes stand as FAO published them, unrounded, and the 2023 listed total of 12,589,663 tonnes adds the 148 reporters with a 2023 value. Source: FAO, FAOSTAT Supply Utilization Accounts, Chick peas, dry, food supply quantity (tonnes; g/capita/day), 2019-2023. Compiled by StatsGeo.

Frequently Asked Questions

What drove the opposite changes in the two windows?

India added 1,166,402 tonnes over five years but fell 916,436 in the latest one — 71.1 percent of the five-year net gain, then the largest single-year drag. Each window tells its own story in the numbers.

How did Australia rise from 5,399 tonnes?

Australia reported 5,399 tonnes in 2019 and 175,000 in 2023, up 169,601 tonnes from a tiny base. The scale of the climb is in the figures; its causes are not.

Why is Australia first per person at seventh by volume?

Australia's 175,000 tonnes read as 18.13 grams a day per person, just ahead of India's 17.2. The two rankings divide the same supply two ways: by reporters, and by population.
