The pistachio market for the upcoming year has been rendered complex and unpredictable due to a confluence of diverse factors, each capable of independently altering market trends.
These factors collectively contribute to a highly intricate pistachio market. However, buyers of Iranian pistachios in the coming year should prioritize partnering with suppliers and companies that demonstrate strong financial stability, rather than focusing solely on those offering the lowest prices.

- Agricultural Perspective: This year, Iran's pistachio production volume appears to be roughly comparable to last year’s yield. However, delays in harvesting have been observed. The pistachios are smaller in size compared to previous years, and there seems to be a bit higher proportion of empty shells. Additionally, a larger quantity of unripe pistachios has reportedly been harvested relative to past seasons.
- Economic and International Conditions: Iran faces a critical year ahead, which will directly impact the supply and domestic pricing of pistachios. Political instability and subsequent currency fluctuations have created expectations of inflation within Iran. This has led to an increase in cash transactions in the market, while farmers are likely to adopt a cautious, trickle-down approach to supply.
- International Markets: The global market represents the third key factor influencing pistachio trends. The pricing for the new season of American pistachios, announced by Wonderful Company, was unexpectedly high despite a large crop volume, causing a price shock in the market. China, as one of the primary buyers of pistachios, could play a pivotal role in stabilizing global pistachio prices. Following the U.S. pricing announcement, there appears to be a shift in preference toward Iranian pistachios.
