Pistachio Overview

Pistachio, whose homeland is Asia and the Middle East, is grown in different countries today. Turkey ranks third in pistachio production after Iran and the USA. Annual production in Iran is around 551,000 tons, in the USA 448,000 tons and in Turkey 240,000 tons. However, in terms of productivity, it is seen that 4.1 tons of pistachios are produced per hectare in the USA, 3.4 tons in Turkey and 0.6 tons in Iran.

Pistachio production in the world is mostly made by these three countries. The products produced in Turkey do not meet the needs of the domestic market. Therefore, Turkey imports pistachios to meet domestic demand. For this reason, it is very easy to find a market for pistachio grown.
