Around 170,000 tons of pistachios were produced in Iran during the last Iranian year (March 2017-18), of which more than 118,000 tons were exported.
Iran Pistachio Association told the Financial Tribune.
Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Germany with around 25,000 tons, 18,000 tons and 9,800 tons of purchases respectively were Iran’s top three export destinations over the period.
Correction (July 7, 2018): Pistachio output was initially reported 619,000 tons by Tehran Chamber of Commerce which was wrong. Pistachio exports were reported 131,000 tons by Tehran Chamber of Commerce which was wrong. TCCIM data about top export destinations were also wrong.
