1. Current 2014 USDA Predicted Pistachio Trends
Global:
• Production is forecasted at 500,000 metric tons.
• Down 20% due to the off-year of alternate bearing crop.
• Exports are expected to rise 6% to 315,000 tons.
• Increased demand from China and the E.U.
United States:
• U.S. production is forecasted to decline 15% to 213,000 tons due to the off-year.
• Exports, however, could reach a record 175,000 tons to China and the E.U.
Iran:
• Production is forecasted down 7% to 170,000 tons.
• Exports are expected to be up 10%, reaching 135,000 tons.
Turkey:
• Production is expected to dive over 50%, but will have little effect on the market, as Turkey’s crop is primarily consumed domestically.
China:
• Imports are forecasted 5% higher at 80,000 tons, and have tripled in 5 years.
• Shanghai and Beijing are key U.S. pistachio markets, valuing the higher quality crop.
European Union:
• Imports should rebound following the financial crisis, and reach 70,000 tons.
• The U.S. supplies the majority of the pistachio market.

4. California Production & Average Return/lb Trends:
Based on 2000-2013 Recorded Data
Key Observations
• Notable, steady increase in CA production since 2000.
• Although changes in price/lb have been volatile from year
to year, overall trend is positive.
• Production 14-year growth rate = 7.95%
• Return/lb 14-year growth rate = 5.48%
Source: American Pistachio Industry, Annual Report
Possible Causes/Effects
• Pistachios are an alternate bearing crop, meaning supply
to the market will be heavier one year, and lighter during
the year following.
• Overall consumption of the crop is steady and increasing.
• This often causes a shortage in the market one season,
and a surplus the next, creating the up and down nature of
the return/lb pistachio growers receive each year.
Conclusions
• The pistachio market is growing rapidly due to increased
production in the U.S., and surging consumption abroad.
• Markets are healthy, and should remain so for many years
• Wonderful Pistachios expects to process a 1 billion pound
pistachio crop by 2020.
