The shortage of products in Europe and the difficulties with the relative increase in international logistics costs have caused a rise in the demand for chickpeas in Italy. The supply of chickpeas in Europe is primarily from non-European countries, which leads the Italian chickpeas market to be dependent on the export of other countries. The problem is logistics issues as the freight cost in Italy is getting higher where the demand for chickpeas is still increasing. Plus, the buyers are willing to pay more to have this product due to increasing demand. In short, buyers are willing to bear higher purchase costs as long as quality standards are guaranteed.
