Why are Pistachios expensive?

Pistachio is a type of peanut that grows especially in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey and has a special taste. It has an important place in Turkish cuisine. There are several factors as to why pistachios are expensive:

  1. Limited Production Area: Pistachio is a plant that can only grow in certain regions, especially it is produced in Gaziantep and its surroundings in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. This limited production area may affect the inability to meet demand and increase prices.
  2. Harvesting by Hand: Pistachios are a product that must be harvested by hand. This requires a labor-intensive work process and can increase costs.

  3. Weather Conditions and Harvest Variations: Climate conditions can affect crop yield. In some years, yields may be low, causing prices to rise.

  4. Increasing Demand: Pistachios are known as a popular snack both within Turkey and in the international market. Increased demand may affect prices.

  5. Processing, Packaging and Shipping Costs: While pistachios are processed, their shells are removed and then packaged. This process may create a separate cost element.

  6. Market Fluctuations: As with agricultural products, market conditions can affect prices. Fluctuations in exchange rates, production costs and other economic factors may cause prices to fluctuate.
