The import of dried shelled chickpeas to Japan is expected to experience consistent growth from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 2.6434 million kilograms in 2024 and projected to reach 2.912 million kilograms in 2028, this represents a steady rise, indicative of an increasing consumption trend for chickpeas in the country. Unfortunately, data for 2023 isn't available, but the year-on-year growth suggests a healthy upward trajectory.

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five-year period is indicative of robust demand, highlighting positive market dynamics influenced by dietary preferences and potential innovations in chickpea-based products.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in food consumption patterns towards plant-based proteins.
Japan's domestic agricultural policies affecting import needs.
Global chickpea supply chain factors, including the impact of climate change on major growing regions.
