Global pistachio production has been between 900,000 and 1.1 million tons for years. With over 40% of the total, the United States is the most important producing country. At 25%, Turkey follows. Iran, too, grows a decent amount of these nuts. China and Syria also have reasonable volumes.
Far more pistachio nuts are exported in-shell than shelled; 300,000 and 40,000 tons respectively. Of the in-shell pistachio exports, the US has a 50%+ share. That makes it, by far, the top exporter.
