Chickpeas

In our country, chickpeas cultivation takes place in the North of Argentina, mainlyin the provinces of Salta, Jujuy, Catamarca, Cordoba and Tucuman.

The seeding time starts at the end of May, for the long-cycle varieties, and the first days of July for shortcycle. The harvest takes place later on the year, but are collected until Easter.

The chickpeas produced in our country are the subtype of Kabuli variety (size medium to large, rounded and wrinkled, colored and with non-pigmented flowers). This crop is grown in the Mediterranean region, Central and South America.
