Production quantity by nation, million tonnes.
Chickpea production ranks the largest producing nations for 2023 by production quantity. The graphic uses five nation rows in million tonnes and does not use a world-total denominator. India leads at 12.3M tonnes, ahead of Australia at 935,390 tonnes. The leader is 27.2x the fifth-ranked producer, Ethiopia, at 451,309 tonnes.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | India | 12.3M tonnes | 2023 |
| 2 | Australia | 935,390 tonnes | 2023 |
| 3 | Türkiye | 580,000 tonnes | 2023 |
| 4 | Russia | 530,495 tonnes | 2023 |

No world-total denominator is used, so this page reports production quantities only. Small values are plotted in million tonnes while row labels retain the original tonne-scale display.
Rows use the cited production quantities. Tonnes are scaled to million tonnes for plotting, and original tonnes remain in row metadata.
Rows use the same crop, production metric, period and unit within each ranking.
