Abstract
This report provides a factual assessment of consumption, production and marketing of pulses in Asia, and explores future prospects for the pulses sector by focusing on chickpea and pigeonpea, the two most important pulse crops grown in the continent. Chickpea and pigeonpea are important grain legumes and play a significant role in the food and nutrition security of the poor in developing countries of Asia. Together, these crops account for 41% of Asia’s pulses production. Asia accounts for 88% of global chickpea production and 90% of global pigeonpea production. Within Asia, India is the largest producer of both crops, accounting for 75% of Asia’s chickpea as well as pigeonpea production.
