Turkey's strategic geographic location, coupled with its robust export capabilities, provides a competitive advantage in meeting the growing global demand for chickpeas.
Despite the positive outlook, the Turkey chickpeas market faces several challenges. Fluctuations in climate conditions impact chickpea yields, leading to variability in supply and pricing. Additionally, competition from other major chickpea-producing countries like India and Australia puts pressure on Turkey's market share. The industry also grapples with issues related to quality control and adherence to international standards, which are crucial for maintaining export credibility.
