Chickpeas Canada

Canada has become one of the world’s most trusted suppliers of high-quality chickpeas, with Saskatchewan accounting for the majority of national production. The province’s semi-arid climate, long summer days, and fertile prairie soil provide ideal growing conditions for chickpeas, producing clean, uniform crops with excellent cooking quality.

BroadGrain’s Saskatchewan pulse facility handles and markets whole Kabuli chickpeas, sourced directly from nearby farms across the Canadian Prairies. Our integrated approach ensures traceability, consistency, and export-ready quality for food manufacturers and bulk buyers worldwide.
