Iran's pistachio production is forecast to remain at 200,000 tons for the year ending March 2025, according to the deputy head of the Iran Pistachio Association.

 

Jalil Karbakhsh-Ravari added that exports are also expected to stay around 120,000 tons, mirroring the previous year's figures.

 

This translates to roughly $1 billion in revenue. Domestic consumption makes up the difference between production and export.

 

He explained that Kerman province remains the dominant producer, contributing 80% of Iran's pistachio crop. Other pistachio-growing regions include Razavi Khorasan, South Khorasan, North Khorasan, Semnan, Yazd, Markazi, Qazvin, and even parts of Tehran.

 

Recent export data shows Iran selling $74.1 million worth of pistachios in shells and $31.9 million of shelled nuts over the past two months.
