Year-to-date export shipments by the 10th marketing month has reached 115,000 MT of in-shell equivalent pistachios. With an estimated 22,000 MT of domestic consumption, the remaining marketable inventory at the end of the 10th marketing month is estimated to be 63,000 MT of dried in-shell pistachios. 3. Iranian pistachio kernels were in high demand during the first half of the current marketing year which resulted in a de facto price floor for Iranian in-shell pistachios. However, from late April onward, the global demand for pistachio kernels seems to be easing to some extent. 4. IPA announced its official forecast of the 2024 Iranian crop at 190,000 MT of dried in-shell pistachios. The new crop is expected to consist of 42% non-Akbari Long (i.e. Ahmad Aghayi, Badami, etc.), 16% Akbari, 32% Round (Fandoghi), and 10% Jumbo (Kalle Ghoochi). 5. Due to late bloom in spring and hotter than usual summer, harvest is expected to be delayed by a week to ten days. |
