Chickpeas (14.3 million MT) and lentils (5.7 million MT) accounted for 65% of the total pulses production. From 1990 to 2009, pulses production increased by 4.5 million MT, whereas a 7.9 million MT increase was reported in just a 10‐year period from 2010 to 2019. With respect to regional distribution, Asia led the global production with 65.60% share, followed by Americas (11.72%), and Africa (11.00%).

The total area under pulses cultivation was 31.4 million hectares in 2019, which showed an increase of 6.3 million hectares or 25.20% since 1990. However, area under cultivation decreased significantly from the preceding year (2018), which was an all‐time high of 38.1 million hectares.
