Afghanistan Pistachio Kernels’ Largest Producer
Pistachio cracking costs are high in Afghanistan. For this reason, most pistachios are imported to Iran from Afghanistan.
In Iran, a limited number of companies crack pistachios and after performing all the processes, they sell or export this product (Wild Pistachio Kernels).
In this regard, the largest producers of Afghan pistachio kernels are in the Khorasan province of Iran.
Of course, pistachio kernels are also sent directly from the Afghan market to the Iranian market and its sales volume is high.
As mentioned, mountain pistachio is very small and a high percentage of pistachio skin remains in the kernel when you crack them.
For this reason, producers should remove and sort these skins and foreign materials from the load by different methods.
Initially, they remove some of the skins by means of the wind.
However, it is necessary to perform the cleaning operation manually or using laser sorting devices. Because, if these hard skins are in the middle of the products, it may harm the end consumer.
In this regard, the production process of forest pistachio kernels is longer than other types of pistachio kernels.

You must control and consider various criteria to determine the price of pistachio kernels.
