Iran supplies 65% of the global market demand for pistachio
Establishment of mechanized systems in the field of planting, holding and harvesting as well as in the field of processing pistachio products is essential.
Ansari, the governor of Rafsanjan, said on the sidelines of the Pistachio Festival: In recent years, we have faced problems in the global markets for pistachio products, including unhealthy pistachios in the European Union, which have led to losses for farmers.
He added: Considering the production of more than half of this product in Rafsanjan city and in order to make the pistachio product hygienic, we are currently trying to create large factories for disinfection and packaging of pistachios, so that this product can be stored for a long time. And in a timely manner, when the need for a global scale is felt, it offers it, which naturally becomes more equitable.
Ansari called the United States, Greece, Turkey and Spain the main producers of pistachios after Iran and said: Currently, about 65% of the global market demand for pistachios is met from Iranian pistachios for good taste and quality, despite its price. It is less than the price of American pistachios. We hope that the price of Iranian pistachios will increase in the world markets by welcoming farmers to mechanized systems and pressurized irrigation, as well as advertisements made by traders and traders around the world.
