Iranian pistachios Prospects for boosting  production for the coming new season

In recent years, several factors such as water scarcity, Lack of pistachio trees cold weather need  in winter. Also, freezing of trees at flowering time, reduced the production of Iranian pistachios. But the most important factor in reducing the production of Iranian pistachios has been the reduction of rainfall and shortage of water resources in recent years . Good news is this year game changed . In the spring of this year 2019, Iran has had incredible growth in rainfall . just one week raind was equal to last 3 years rain.
In some areas, for one or two days of the spring, the temperature dropped below zero degrees at night and causing damage to some Iranian pistachios trees , Most damage reported for the Fandoghi pistachio trees.

Report for 2017-2018 pistachio

iranian pistachio

According to reports from different regions of Iran ,It is estimated that Iranian pistachios tree yield will be more than 50% of their production crop capacity this year(2019) And like 2 years ago, it is expected that Iran will have about 250,000 tons of pistachio
The global production of pistachios is expected to hit more than 165,000 tons last year from 2019 to 2018 to 814,000 tons. Turkey and the United States hit the record in pistachio production, thus offsetting a sharp decline in Iranian pistachios output. With a significant increase in supply, global consumption is expected to reach unprecedented levels of 743,000 tons. However, global exports may drop by 50,000 over the past year due to a shortage of Iranian pistachios .
Last year was bad for Iranian pistachios but good news will com.

  • Iran

Iranian pistachios production has been 173,000 tons less than the previous year (2017-2018), reaching 52,000 tons in 2018-2019.
According to the Iranian Pistachio Association; the unheard-of heat of the spring season in Kerman province caused a severe fall of flower buds in this important region of Iranian pistachios production. Iran’s exports to China, the European Union and Turkey are expected to drop from 150 thousand tons last year (2017-2018) to 50 thousand tons in 2018-2019

• America

Following an increase in pistachio cultivation in the United States, pistachio production in the United States amounted to 450,000 tones. It comes from the Pistachio Executive Committee, which records pistachio recording and sales data annually. US exports to China, the European Union and Canada increased.
By reducing the competitiveness of Iran, it is forecasted that US exports to other countries will reach to 250 thousand tons this year.

• Turkey

Turkey’s pistachio production reached 240 thousand tons this year. A large percentage of the Turkish product is consumed inside the country. So there will be no significant increase in exports.

• china

The pistachio imports to China are projected to decline by around 100,000 tons this year due to reduced exports of pistachios from Iran. Despite China’s new customs tariffs on American pistachio,
Exports of pistachios to China will increase, followed by a similar trend.

The European Union:big buy Iranian pistachio VS Us pistachio

The European Union (28 countries) is the largest target for the export of tree nuts from the United States, with 32% of the total US produced in 2017,Also Its big in buy Iranian pistachio.

The share of East Asian countries was 27% in imports of tree nuts and 12% in the Middle East.

In 2017, the value of exports of nuts to the European Union reached $ 2.7 billion;

Almond (dry in shell and kernel) $ 1.5 billion, dry pistachios ($ 44.6 million) and walnuts worth $ 344 million.

Within the European Union, the most important destinations for American nuts are as follows: Spain, Germany and the Netherlands, accounting for 63% of total imports into Europe.

The United States is the largest supplier of tree nuts to Europe. In 2017, the share of the source in the European market was 37%.

Turkey has a second share of the European market (20%), followed by Vietnam, Chile, and India, and almond is still the main commodity, with a share of the total import of nuts to the European Union of 22%.

The main buyers of tree nuts: food processing and nuts industry

The nuts and food processing industries in Europe are the largest consumers of tree nuts in Europe; these industries use cookies in traditional cuisines as well as recycle and re-export them to third countries.

Almonds are used more as an ingredient in the production of marzipan, nougat, toron (spanish specialties for Christmas), other sweets and pastries. European growers use pistachios and walnuts for use in ice cream and confectionery.

The European Nutrition and Nutrition Industry is constantly striving to offer new products and methods for consuming more nuts.

However, it is not easy to introduce new products in traditional markets like Spain and Italy.

In these markets, consumers often prefer familiar food products.

Because of the large European marketplace, the focus of food retailers has been to develop strategies for the production of new value added products to sell more commodities in bulk.

They also try to showcase the nutritional value and benefits of tree fruit through new promotional campaigns and packaging

Expansion of trade in the EU market

Since the EU is the main destination for exporting tree beans, American exporters are always looking to expand their trade   with these countries.

Trade fairs are a golden opportunity to know about this market and meet potential importers. Some of the major trade fairs in Europe that deal with tree plants are:

To exporters who have recently entered the food business, it is recommended to refer to the FAIRS reports (including standards and regulations for the import of food and agriculture to the European Union) for more information on EU food regulations and familiarizing them with market opportunities.

American activists in the European Union

Associations such as the California Almond Alliance (ABC), The American Pistachio Association (APG) and the Cervical Cancer Commission (CWC) are always seeking to develop business strategies in the European Union market.

These business associations or industry activists, in collaboration with agricultural services offices throughout Europe, are always seeking to increase the market opportunities for tree vegetables.

Italy

Pistachios in Italy are a traditional product, especially in Sicily (Bronte Region), which supplies 90% of Italian pistachio.

In recent years, pistachio production has also expanded to some extent in other areas in Sicily and Basilicata.

 In these areas newer and more efficient gardens are built.

 Bianca (or Napoleon) is the main pistachio in Italy, which is usually harvested in September.

Since 2004, the European Commission has awarded the Brontot Pistachio with a PDO (protected designation of origin), distinguishing it from other varieties of pistachios in the world.

Spain

Spanish consumer interest in pistachios is on the rise, as well as pistachio production in Spain, which is undergoing rapid growth.

It is true that pistachios in Spain are not considered to be a traditional product, but high profitability and high demand for this product in the past 10 years has caused the pistachio crop area to rise substantially in Spain.

The production of domestic pistachios is still low, but it is also expanding.

The Castile-La Mancha region has the highest increase in pistachios and production. The expansion of pistachio cultivation is a long-term investment that is expected to continue to increase.

Taking pistachios

Pistachio production within the EU does not cover domestic demand, so a significant amount of pistachios from Iran and the United States are imported into the European Union.

Pistachios are consumed in various forms in Europe, Use of dry in shell (with skin) as nuts to the consumption of pistachio kernel in the restaurants, cakes, sweets and other food industries and green pistachio powder and pistachio paste in ice cream.

Pistachio trade

The European Union is one of the main importers of pistachios in the world. Iranian pistachio  and the United States pistachio  have the biggest share of  European pistachio market.

These two countries together have more than 90% of the total pistachio imports to Europe in their hand.

In the European Union market,  buy Iranian pistachio is the main rival of the United States.

Iranian pistachio flavor is still better than American pistachio, and this is the most important advantage of Iranian pistachios ( Table 2 ) .

Exports of pistachios from the EU are very small. The main purposes of pistachio produced in the 28 EU countries in 2016 were the Mellá and Monte Carlo autonomous cities of Spain (Table 3).

In this Article we talk about Iran pistachio and world pistachio.

USA and Iran pistachio cover more than 75% of world pistachio product, what pistachio trees need?

The United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran are world leaders in the production and cultivation of pistachios. Republic of Turkey, and Syrian Arabic Republic is ranked in the production of pistachios after the United States and Iran.

Countries like Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Greece, Jordan, Italy, Madagascar, Spain, Tunisia, china, Australia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan are also producing pistachios,

but most of their products are consumed locally, or partially are exported to countries in Their respective areas.

In case of pistachios, producer countries are generally not thought to import,

but still statistics shows the United States and Iran are both importing.

as we know Iran re-exporting of their imported pistachio after some processing on it.

Major importer countries of pistachio.

The largest import markets for pistachios are Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China, Canada, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Russia.
Not all countries have direct import from pistachio producing countries. However, re-shipping may occur for these reasons:
1. Strategic Business Objectives,
2. quality issues, the escape of domestic and foreign regulations

The largest exporter / importer -non-producing of pistachios

Hong Kong, as the largest pistachio re-importer, has a key position in global pistachio trade,

Hong Kong is the gateway to China, and also re-exporting it from china to other countries.

Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the United Arab Emirates also act in the same way and are in the next positions.

World production of pistachios exceeded 524,000 tons in 2015-2016, up 24% compared to the same period in the past 10 years, 2005-2006, now production of pistachio reached to 1.1 million tones, it shoes 3.29% yearly increase from 1997.

In 2016 global production, Iran produced 210,000 tons (40% share), after that Turkey with 145,000 tons (28% share) and the United States with 127,000 tons (24% share). These countries, as the largest pistachio producers, supply about 92% of the world’s total pistachio.

Iran’s Global Ranking in Pistachio Production

According to statistics released by the FAO, the United States produces 406,000 tons of pistachios per year, the world’s first largest producer of this product.
Iran is ranked second in production of 315,000 tons of pistachios.

Iran’s closest rival is Turkey, with 170,000 tons’ production.

China is predicted to be a serious threat to Iran and the United States with the policy of boosting its production

and its Production has tripled in 4 years in the coming years.

Requirements for Iran pistachio tree growth

1- Above sea level

only some Areas of the country are suitable for planting and growing pistachios in
terms of weather and environment, which has very cold winters and hot and long summer.
And Usually these conditions are provided at an altitude of 800-900 meters above sea level.
In Kerman province, Iran pistachio trees also planted at the height of 1850 meters.
Today,Iran pistachio cultivation and production are carried out at lower altitudes and produced a good crop.

2-Temperatures

suitable temperature for cultivating this plant is 45 ° C in summer and 20 ° C in winter.
Pistachio is susceptible to late spring frost, and the temperature of freezing and even close to it will cause a lot of damage.
However, the summer heat is necessary for the growth and pistachio kernels development and should be enough.
3-latitude
Generally,Iran pistachio trees are located at latitude of 42-24 ° N, but the cultivation of Iran pistachio trees in Iran is 37-27 ° N

4-Soil specifications

The pistachio tree can be easily planted in most soils of different tissues (texture) and genus
And in calcareous and passionate soils its tolerance is better than other fruit trees.
But in shallow, hard and rocky soils it does not produce good crop.
The best Iran pistachio soil is sandy clay soils The greater depth and the more uniform, makes pistachio trees grow better and faster and give more iran pistachio.

5.water quality

In assessing the quality of irrigation water, three important issues have to be considered

1-If water irrigation has less than 0.7 ds / m EC(Electrical Conductivity) and the its SAR
(Sodium adsorption ratio) was less than 3.5 0.7 ds /m.There is no limit to using this kind of water irrigation.

2-If water EC (Electrical Conductivity) was greater than 2 (ds / m), it will accumulate in salts, may cause accumulation of salts. For this reason, using of these waters will be restricted.
Irrigation water witch its SAR (Sodium adsorption ratio) was greater than 7, cause reduce water penetration in the soil. In this case, the imbalance between calcium –magnesium and sodium causes Particle dispersion.

Importance of proper management of irrigation

Iran located in the dry and semi-arid region of the world and the average annual rainfall is 250 mm, which is one third of the world’s average rainfall.

in other hand, the evaporation rate of the free surface of water and soils in Iran is equal to 2 meters and is equal to three times (triple)the average evaporation in the world.

Water requirement of plants directly related to rainfall and evapotranspiration, and the need for water increases with lower rainfall and higher plant evapotranspiration.

Irrigation experts, and users of the water and agriculture sector believe with decrease in water resources led us to the use of irrigation methods with best efficiency,
One of the ways to increase irrigation efficiency is to use ways that need less water with the rate of performance that is not significantly altered by reducing water consumption.

Generally, the water requirement of Iran pistachio seedlings is about 4000 cubic meters per hectare per year (for a 4-5-year-old seedlings),

and the same is recommended for one-year-old seedlings irrigation,

due to the fact that the pistachio plant in the First year,it has just been transported to the main place and it has little growth, so their actual demand is much less than 4 thousand cubic meters, and even less than a thousand cubic meters per hectare in the first year.

Since the role of water in life is very important, it can be saved by advanced and modern methods in the agricultural industry for irrigation, and even can provide more crops with better quality.

we all must help the life of future generations.

Iranian pistachio insight

This year was a bad year for Iranian pistachio for various reasons such as:

Iran pistachio bloom

1.  Inappropriate weather conditions
2.  Water shortage
3.  Inappropriate use of pesticides in previous years Across Iran,

there was a severe shortage of crop production, Estimates of this year are about 45-55 thousand tons and it’s almost the same from last year in stock,

so total available Iranian pistachio for 2018 is about 90 to 100 tones.

Pistachio quality

The quality of pistachios, especially the Fandoqi variety, is significantly better in compare with previous years, due to the low amount of each tree’s crop, pistachio trees had the proper nutrition.

Trade and export

Due to the sharp fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate and the fact that Iran’s pistachios are mostly exported, pistachio holders will not have much incentive to supply this product this year.

Consequently, exporters faced lots of risks, As

1. Low supply
2. High fluctuations of the dollar exchange rate
3. Lack of proper financial
4. Government sudden decisions in the area of currency and customs
5. transport and insurance problems After new sanctions,
6. truck strike strikes over the past few months

Along with low supply, there is no significant demand on the market, and the atmosphere in these days of the market is not good.

And businessmen are either observing the market or are happy about sudden profits or discomfort from overnight losses in these extreme fluctuations.

about 45-55 thousand tons and it’s almost the same from last year in stock.

so total available Iranian pistachio for 2018 is about 90 to 100 thousand  tones.

Next year 2019 Iran pistachio crop forecast

The weather forecast indicates that Iran’s year 2019 will have a good rainfall,

Pistachio tree buds were very low in the last spring 2018, as a result, we saw very little pistachios crop.

A review of the status of pistachio trees  promise  lots of blooms in next year, we hope to have a good crop for next year.

Forecast of better Iran pistachio crop for next year

The head of the Agriculture Organization in northern province of Kerman talked about Iran pistachio:

“We expect that the next year will be a good year for Iranian pistachio producers.”

Abbas Saeedi, at the ISNA booth, on Fourth Press and Media Exhibition of Kerman Province, pointing to:

climate change over the past few years and said “climate change is too tangible”

iran pistachio forecast for 2019

He also mentioned “Climate changing has increased the temperature and reduced rainfall”

And said:

“Last year was a hard year for farming and animal husbandry in Kerman province, where more than 85% of the province faced severe drought”.

Kerman situation in pistachio farms

Head of Agriculture Organization of the northern province, considered Kerman province as one of the main agricultural center in Iran.

He pointed to the past crisis last year in the agricultural sector of the province, adding that:

“the excessive heat in April and the fluctuations temperatures in February unfortunately caused more than 90 percent of the province’s Iranian pistachios to be wasted”. And Due to climate change only 10000 tons’ pistachio left from 90000.

As a result of the untimely cold weather on 18, 19 and 20 April last year, about 18,000 tons of the Walnut spoiled.

Unfortunately, the temperature that increased in July and August also disappeared about 30,000 tons of the province’s date, while the drought caused the drying up and There were a lot of Qanats in the province.

Due to the last year’s April coldness About 18,000 tons of province walnuts were spoiled and, unfortunately, the temperature increase in July and August also destroyed about 30 thousand tons of province dates.

He spoke about the impact of climate change on the Animal Husbandry sector and said:

“climate change and droughts caused huge damage to the livestock and Animal Husbandry”.

Saeedi said :

Next year, Kerman province will rank first in pistachio production.

also said: “We expect the next year to be a fairly good year for pistachio producers”.

Iran pistachio green kernel production and consumption history

Iran pistachio green kernel

The history of the production and consumption of Iran pistachio green kernel was modestly known at around 800 to 700 years, and was consumed in Europe, especially in Germany. Since the Arabs seized Sicily The cultivation of pistachios in the Bronte region of Cecil become common, and its green kernel was sent to Germany.

Always a small amount of green kernels, about 250 tons per year, went from Sicily to Germany. It was also used in very luxurious foods such as sausages, banger and expensive snacks. But most Germans did not even know pistachios until the 60s;

The Arabian kernel was taken to Sicily?

The cultivation of pistachios was carried out by Muslims to Sicily. two local types were sent to Europe as a green kernel.

 Today, there are two local pistachio cultivars, which are still exported to Europe in the form of a green kernel.

Its average annual production is 200 to 250 tons, all of which are produced in the mountain hillside of Mount Etna in Bronte Italy. 

Apart from the Cecil Green kernel, since the early 60s, the only other pistachio exported to Europe in the form of a green kernel was a small amount of  Iran pistachios in the city of Qazvin in Iran, which was about 40 tons of green kernel a year ago.

At the same time, Afghanistan produced about 100 tons of green kernel from its own pistachio.

It was bought by traders and Iranian companies, including the Iranian pistachio export company from Afghanistan, and they were peeling in Tehran with German machines and exporting them to Germany with a certificate from Iran.

So, by the beginning of the 60s, Sicily was the only supplier of green kernel, but since then, the products of Qazvin and Afghanistan have also been added.

How did the production of green kernel  grow?

Before Iran extensively entered the work in the 1990s, as the demand grew, the Turks began to pick Iran Pistachio Kal, which was a green kernel, and exported it to Europe.

 Turks did not use the green pistachiokernel  for their sweet ones?

No, they only produced green Kernel for export. That’s why the Green Pistachio Kernel was taken to other markets.

For the first time around 85 or 86 AD, the Turks began to process pistachios and sent a kernel load to Spain. In 1987, they sent more to France and Spain.

The price of the green kernel at that time

In 1986, the price of green Iran  pistachios was high, But the average Iranian pistachio price of the kernels was about six mark (worth of every German mark was almost half a euro). The price of pistachios was 2 to 3 marks.

At that time, the green kernel of Sicily was traded in about 36 German mark. In fact, due to the disappearance of Sicilian products at one-year, the green kernel market suffered from a severe shortage.

Is it possible in Iran to produce the green kernel extensively? Or must it be a special kind?

In Iran we do not need specific pistachio tree. Now any kind of pistachios will be sold.

Where’s the biggest green kernel market in Iran? Germany is the largest consumer of Iranian green kernel with a huge disparity in consumption; But up to now, about 70 percent of the green kernel was consumed in Germany, 20 percent to France, and 10 percent to other European destinations.

What is the reason for the popularity of the green kernel in Germany?

In addition to Germany’s historical record on the use of green kernels,

 being luxury and expensive for green kernel in Germany is an advantage.

Once in a fair, a famous restaurant how came from Paris   said:

“I buy green pistachio kernel for 50 euros, but the wholesale price is 28 euros.”

“Why cannot we get around € 35 straight from you?”

I said: “you are a restaurant; why do you want to buy a 50 euros’ item?”

He said: “there are some people know that the green pistachio is too expensive, if it is seen in sausages or meat or other foods, they say that this meat is also good because the price of the kernel is several times more than the cost of meat.”

So customer say the casseroles that has the green kernel inside, it is sure to have the rest of the material of the best quality.

Apart from the hundred-year history of consuming green kernel in expensive foods, in Germany, which eat expensive food and they are rich, the story of the green kernel is actually this;

Not only in the casseroles, but in everywhere else the green kernel is consumed, it’s more to decorate and represent that product; it means I am, no matter what taste I have!

The green kernel does not have too strong tastes to recognize it in the German casseroles, it just makes it look and it means the casseroles is luxury.

Is consumption different in Germany than in Japan?

Yes, Japanese consumption is only in cakes and sweets, as well as chopped on a luxury restaurant, but in Germany it is actually consumed inside sausages or powder for ice cream. Japan does not have ice cream and sausage with green kernel.

 Frenches are famous chefs, why not green kernel so much gone to France?

Because if you do not roast Iran pistachio , there is not a strong tasty product.

The French are more interested in the taste of the food than its appearance or beauty.  for That reason, use of the green kernel in Germany is high, because of   its color.

In Germany, you cannot buy and sell fresh products with the combination of chemical colors.

For example, in ice cream, green Iran pistachio powder is used for green ice cream. You can only use color in dry food. There is nothing green except in the case of Iran pistachios.

Some say there are some very wealthy people in the Chinese market and like pistachio?

Probably those Chinese were   who had traveled to Europe, particularly Germany, and became familiar with the green kernel and consumption types

Such people were still attracted to European luxury brands in bags and shoes and perfumes, not products like  green pistachio kernel.

If the growth of this rich Chinese consumer class continues, China can be considered a great consumer of the green kernel in the future.

Whether the green kernel is picked up early, does it also reduce the risk of Aflatoxin?

Very much. Before Iran pistachios crack, and become open mouth, they do not have aflatoxin.

Is the cost of processing and producing for green kernel is more than Iran pistachios ordinary kernel?

How do you compare the cost of producing and processing two products, the price of one of which is three times the market? Certainly the cost of producing of expensive goods has been greater.

For example, the processing of green Iran pistachio kernel in the current time requires eye color and human labor force. While the pistachio does not have such a cost.

For example, a workshop that generates 400 tons of green kernel per year, keeps roughly 200 workers throughout the year, in spite of the open-mouth of pistachio processing, which can be processed with one-tenth of that manpower.

Pistachio situation in Iran

Iran pistachio and International pistachio production and trade is about 100 years old.

Iran’s pistachios are exported to nearly all countries of the world.

• The construction of a pistachio garden is a long-term investment in which the farmer will risk investment at least for the next 15 years.
• Annual pistachio production in Iran is estimated at an average of 200,000 tons.
• Pistachio production last year was estimated at 225,000 tons , while production of this year is projected at 55,000 tons due to the unprecedented damage caused by the climatic conditions of the spring.

According to estimates, more than a million people in more than 15 provinces of the country    have income from the Iran pistachio industry.

Price

Usually about 80 percent of Iran’s pistachio production is exported and 20 percent of it is consumed internally.

Due to the larger export market, the price of pistachios is determined by its price on the world ,Therefore, the domestic price of pistachios is always the result of multiplying its global price market by the rate of Rials against foreign currencies.

Export markets

Pistachios in the world are mainly exported in bulk, pistachio traders and sellers in the countries of destination, according to the taste of the market are, consumed, packed, marketed, and then sold it.

Pistachio production last year was 275,000 tons.This year’s production in the United States is estimated at 450,000 tons.

Return of export currency

Normaly, Iran’s pistachio farmer’s sales price is about 95% of the export price of pistachios by Iranian businessmen.

Also, the average margin of pistachio exporter’s profit is less than one percent of its export sales price. This means that 99 percent of the currency from the export of pistachios is paid back to the farmer to pay the farmer and cover export costs.

The return of foreign exchange from pistachio exports due to international political and banking sanctions has long been done only through the capillary network and informal network created between Iranian and foreign traders.
