Iran's pistachio exports have seen a 19% decline in the first nine months of this fiscal year, totaling 111,122 tons and valued at $738.46 million. The main exports were in-shell pistachios to countries like China, India, and Russia, while shelled pistachios were exported to India, Germany, and the UAE. The decline is attributed to extreme weather conditions and the alternate bearing nature of the pistachio tree. Additionally, Iran's agriculture sector is facing a potential drought, which could further impact its economic growth.
