-92.2% over 12m
Freshdi received 24 buyer inquiries for Chickpea in the 30 days to 31 October 2026, down 92.2% from the previous 30 days.
37 suppliers are currently active in the Chickpea category, with 6 updating their listings in the last 30 days and 11 over the past 90. This shows a steady, though slow, level of engagement—buyers can expect consistent availability, but not rapid changes in pricing or specs. The fact that only a fraction of suppliers refresh their listings means that while the base is solid, it’s not a dynamic market where new offers emerge frequently. There are 64 active listings, offering a range of grades, pack sizes, and origins. For buyers with specific requirements, this volume provides a reasonable chance of finding a match without needing to start from scratch or make a custom request. Suppliers come from 17 countries, with India accounting for just 18.9% of the total. This broad geographic spread means buyers have multiple options to consider, especially if they're looking for regional differences in quality, processing, or certifications—offering flexibility beyond a single origin. Buyer inquiries dropped 92.2% over the last 30 days to just 24—this is a sharp decline, suggesting reduced interest or potential supply instability. For buyers, it means now is a good time to act: with fewer inquiries, suppliers may be more open to new conversations, and demand may be low enough to secure better terms or availability.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Chickpea gained 12 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 5 seen the month before. The catalog is growing quickly, so the offers available today are not the same as those from a month ago. Compare the listing dates when evaluating similar offers to see which is more current.
Is the market busy?
26 of the 37 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, more than half of the sellers are new. The category now includes a mix of long-standing and newer suppliers, which expands the range of options but means buyers have less history to rely on for each new seller. Established suppliers offer a longer track record, while new ones need to prove reliability through their first orders. Review each supplier’s listing history before contacting them.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Chickpea listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 14 October 2026 - 64 active listings, 6 buyer requests, 53 source documents, and 239 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Chickpea type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Chickpea, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
