# Australia details chickpea, lentil exports in year to Sep

> Australia exported 1.98 million tonnes of chickpeas and 1.66 million tonnes of lentils in the year to September, with India the largest destination for both crops. ABARES forecasts a record 2.25 million-tonne lentil harvest in 2026–27, while chickpea production may be revised lower after rain-related harvest and quality losses in Queensland and New South Wales.

## Why it matters

Strong Australian lentil production could support export availability and weigh on lentil prices. Lower chickpea output and damaged quality could constrain exportable supply and support prices, although the article provides no price data.
