| 4th Marketing Month | Crop: 2024 | 1. Exports in the 4th marketing month reached 19,000 MT of in-shell equivalent pistachios, a 73% increase compared to the previous year. During this month, top export destinations were re-export markets (namely, Türkiye and the UAE), followed by the Indian Subcontinent. CIS Countries also showed strong demand. 2. YTD export shipments reached 102,000 MT of in-shell equivalent pistachios by January 20th; an 80% increase compared to the previous year. This strong performance results from a good 2024 crop and competitive prices of Iranian pistachios in global markets. 3. "Exports to Opening Inventory Ratio" by the end of the 4th marketing month stood at 44%, significantly higher than the 37% average in recent years. 4. Kernel exports at 36% of total in-shell equivalent shipments (surpassing the four-year average of 30% for the same period), enjoy a steady growth resulting from increased global demand. 5. Since September, the price gap between Iranian and Californian in-shell pistachios and natural pistachio kernels has pushed Iran’s exports to multi-year highs. However, it is expected that this gap will shrink as we move forward. 6. Demand for Iranian Green Peeled Pistachio Kernels (GPPK) remains strong. After a temporary pause of GPPK exports to the EU, it is gradually picking up once again. Meanwhile, GPPK shipments to non-EU destinations continue to grow steadily, highlighting increasing global demand for Iranian GPPK. |
