How to Produce Mechanical Open Pistachios

Mechanical Open Pistachio Varieties are pistachios that were close-mouth and have opened by means of mechanical methods and also using cold and hot water.

This method uses cold water and dryers at a certain temperature.
This is a very specialized job and you can manage how much the pistachio nuts mouthes should be open.

Because most of the time, Mechanical open pistachios are roasted; For this reason, pistachios should not be opened too much.
But when MO pistachios are in use in raw, their mouth can be more open to improving their appearance.

If you do not have experience in this work, the possibility of pistachio kernels peeling or staining increases.
There are several ways to make each type of pistachio open. But in general, it can be said that it is easier to make Ahmad Aghaei and Akbari (Long) varieties open.

But for Kalleghouchi and Fandoghi (Round) pistachios, there is one step more step to the process of making the product open.
At this stage, it is necessary to hit all the pistachios with pliers or a hammer with special pressure. Which is both time-consuming and increases the cost of mechanically opening the product.

Export/Import of Mechanical Open Pistachio Varieties

The export of MO pistachios is of interest to merchants of different countries due to its reasonable price.
American pistachio is usually active in the market of these countries.

Given that American pistachios have a low kernel value, the main option for competing with pistachios is Iranian MO pistachios.
These pistachios are in use to export/import both raw and in salt form.

Of course, sometimes in different markets, customers tend to combine natural-open pistachios with MO pistachios. This causes the price of natural-open pistachios to be greatly lower but keep the appearance better. Some call this variety: Class B pistachio nuts (a mixture of NO and MO pistachio nuts).

Different countries buy Iranian class B and C pistachios.
Most of the orders are from the following countries:

• Russia

• Pistachio variety
• %Kernels yield
• Ounce (pistachio size)
• Uniformity of size and color

All of these together determine the daily price of close-mouth pistachios as the raw material for the production of MO pistachios.
After determining the price of this product, you should consider the costs of the opening procedure and drying.
This is to determine the price of raw MO pistachio.

If a special roast is necessary, we should add the roasting costs to the final price of the product.
Finally, the packaging costs of the product should be determined according to the destination country.

If you intend to export/import in the form of 50 kg bags, obviously, there is no special cost.

By calculating all these cases, the daily price of MO pistachios in the country of origin will be determined.

Now, if you want to determine the price of the product in the customs of the destination country, you must also consider the following costs:

• Specify the volume
