★ The chickpea market has remained stable over the past few weeks. Due to the higher availability of old stocks, prices have not shown any significant increase, and buyers are not making aggressive purchases. New crop prices are reported around $0.25–$0.26 per pound, but farmers are not showing strong interest in selling. It is believed that acreage may decline in the next season, which could provide some support to prices going forward.
