Chickpeas from Pakistan, desi and kabuli, for importers, wholesalers and packers. One page covers both types.
Chickpeas from Pakistan come mainly from the Thal in Punjab. The Ayub Agricultural Research Institute (AARI) says Thal consists of Bhakkar, Mianwali, Khushab, Layyah and part of Jhang, and that chickpea there is grown in a rainfed system. The AARI Pulses Research Institute, Faisalabad, calls Thal the major chickpea-producing area and the home of chickpea in Pakistan, and also names Chakwal among its districts.
For named kabuli lines, the Barani Agricultural Research Institute, Chakwal, recommends Chakwal, Rawalpindi, Jhelum, Attock, Khushab, Bhakkar, Layyah and Mianwali. The Balochistan Agriculture Policy 2021–2030 lists chickpea among the province's rabi pulses, with peas and lentil.
The Crop Reporting Service, Punjab, crop calendar shows harvesting on its gram and masoor (lentil) line from February through the first half of March. The 2026 Punjab calendar of the PMD National Agromet Centre shows harvesting on its gram and masoor line from February through March.
