Legumes are an integral part of the ecosystem that contributes to sustainable agricultural development across the globe and ensures nutritional security, particularly among the poor segment of the society. Among several legumes cultivated in the world, common bean, chickpea, cowpea, groundnut, lentil, pigeonpea, and soybean are the major seven legumes highly preferred across the globe. The combined production of these major legumes has followed an increasing trend with the global production increase by 548.6% between triennium ending 1961–1963 and 2014–2016 owing to a combined effect of area expansion by 152.6% (128.37 m ha) and productivity enhancement by 85.9% during the same period. The global annual growth rates (AGRs) of total area, production, and yield of these major legumes during the 1961–2016 period are 1.7%, 3.5%, and 1.2%, respectively. The highest AGR for production was observed in the case of soybean (4.5%) followed by cowpea (4.1%), lentil (3.5%), groundnut (2.2%), pigeonpea (1.8%), common bean (1.5%), and chickpea (1.1%), while the highest AGR for productivity was observed in the case of groundnut (1.5%) followed by soybean (1.4%), cowpea (1.4%), lentil (1.4%), common bean (1.1%), chickpea (0.9%), and pigeonpea (0.4%). The global future demand and supply projections of these legumes clearly highlight the importance of developing countries in legume production. The country-wise demand and supply gaps and the changes in pattern of their utilization over time will drive the future research focus on legumes in those countries.
