Lovers of hummus and falafel beware: data shows that global supplies of chickpeas, the main ingredient for both dishes, may dip up to 20% this year.
A combination of Russia’s war in Ukraine, poor weather and transportation issues is leading to the shortage, which is predicted to increase prices and make cheap hummus harder to come by, Reuters reported on Thursday.
Farmers in the United States, the fourth-largest chickpea exporter in the world, planted less of the protein-packed legume this year due to less than ideal weather conditions in the spring.

I did find this on the internet.
The funniest thing - Ukraine isn't even on the list!
but they are like mothers milk to all the world!!
The go-to excuse for every problem imaginable. Yer drain's clogged? Well, if Putin hadn't invaded Ukraine, you wouldn't be losing your hair worrying over the war to clog it up!
Hold onto your hummus: Global chickpea supply could drop 20% this year The ongoing war has decreased the amount of chickpeas normally grown in Ukraine by about 50 tons.

“May dip”, or may not.
Total world production of chickpeas is 11.6 Million tons. A reduction of 50 tons is a loss of 0.00043%. (It’s equivalent to a person have $16M and spending $50)

so this is to say that the total chick pea production is 5 x 50 tons or a mere 250 tons per year?
I hardly thing so. Wouldn’t it be a whole lot more? 50 tons is seems it would be hardly a fart in a whirlwind.

“First they came for the fertilizer, but I don’t buy fertilizer, so I said nothing.
Then they bought up all the farmland, but I’m not a farmer, so I said nothing.
Then they burned down the food processing plants, but I’m not a businessman, so I said nothing.
Then they came for the hummus!!!
And no one is left to speak for me.”

Hummus is leftist food. Along with Avocado toast and Starbucks. We could easily starve the left out by eliminating those things.
Such a huge planet, yet all of the worlds food, oil, energy, and supplies all come from such a tiny place
A world without chickpeas would be like a world without...um...garbanzo beans. Which would be pretty darn awful. For, you know, people who like that sort of thing...
