Kermanshah province ranks first with the production of 90,000 tons, and Lorestan and West Azarbaijan rank next in terms of chickpea production in the country.
Chickpea cultivation is done in spring (traditional) and autumn (machine) and this year five thousand hectares of land in Kermanshah province have been cultivated in autumn. In the machine method, 1,200 kilograms of chickpeas are produced per hectare, while in the traditional method, 500 kilograms of chickpeas are harvested per hectare. The head of the National Council of Chickpeas admits: Chickpeas are the most important legumes produced in Iran, which are mainly cultivated and produced in the dry season. Chickpea is considered one of the most important dry crops, so that this plant, apart from its important role in crop rotation, has become one of the most important items in terms of agricultural economy in the past few years.
