Wholesale chickpea prices on the European market

Chickpeas are a high-protein legume with rapidly growing demand in Europe, fuelled by the expansion of plant-based diets and hummus consumption. On the Fresh-market.info portal, we publish daily wholesale prices and market reports from major exchanges and wholesale markets in Poland (including Bronisze, Wroclaw, Poznan), as well as key EU countries — Spain, Italy, Greece, and Portugal.

What types of chickpeas do we track?

For precise market analysis, we divide quotations into several important segments relevant to producers and traders:

• Kabuli chickpeas: large, light-coloured seeds dominant in European retail and food service for hummus and salads
• Desi chickpeas: smaller, darker variety used in processing, flour production, and ethnic food manufacturing
• Canned and jarred chickpeas: a major convenience segment with strong year-round wholesale demand across European supermarkets

Factors influencing chickpea prices

Chickpea prices are driven by global harvest volumes, import dependency on Turkey and India, EU cultivation incentives, and surging consumer demand for plant-based protein products.
