Why Chana Prices Are High
- Imports: Pakistan does not grow enough chana and imports kabuli and desi chana from Australia, Canada, Russia and Tanzania, so the dollar rate and world prices matter.
- Weather in the Thal: most desi chana is rain-fed in Bhakkar, Layyah, Khushab and Mianwali; a dry winter cuts the crop.
- Demand: chana and besan demand rises in Ramazan and winter.
- Year-on-year: PBS data show gram pulse is about 3.6% dearer than a year ago.
Chana Cultivation in Pakistan
Chana is a Rabi crop sown in October–November and harvested in March–April. Punjab produces most of it, especially the sandy Thal districts (Bhakkar, Layyah, Khushab, Mianwali, Jhang). It fixes nitrogen in the soil, so it needs little fertilizer, but it is sensitive to frost and to too much rain at flowering. See the Bhakkar weather forecast.
