Chickpeas represent 20–35% of Australia’s annual pulse crop, with around 650,000 tonnes produced annually, primarily in the northern grain regions. Australia is one of the world’s largest exporters, with over 90% of production exported globally.
Two main types are grown:
Desi chickpeas – small, angular, brown seeds ideal for splitting into dhal, widely consumed in the Indian subcontinent.
Kabuli chickpeas – large, round, cream-coloured seeds used whole, popular in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern markets.
Australian chickpeas are valued for their uniform size, light seed coats, and excellent cooking, splitting, and hydration qualities. They are used in a variety of foods, including hummus, curries, snacks, flours, and fermented dishes.

Australia is a global leader in high-quality malting and feed barley, producing an average of 12.8 million tonnes annually, with 55–70% exported worldwide. Australian barley is highly regarded for its plump, bright grains, low moisture, cleanliness, and excellent malting performance.
Malting barley is prized by brewers and distillers across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe for its high germination, extract yield, and brewing versatility.
Feed barley is in strong demand due to its consistent nutritional profile, low mycotoxin levels, and benefits for animal health.
Supported by world-class breeding, testing, and quality assurance systems, Australian barley meets rigorous standards for beer production, spirits, stockfeed, and food-grade use.
