Pistachio Tree:
Pistachios are grown in the many cities of southern Kerman province, Such as Kerman, Sirjan and Rafsanjan. Pistachio trees
need very little water but great care. They mature and fruits 6-7 years after cultivation and live a long life, Sometimes more
than even 100 years.

The above facts together with peculiar climatic conditions in the region and the experiences of the regional farmers have
resulted the Iranian Pistachio the unique taste and highest production rate compared with all over the world.

At present Iranian Pistachio processed under completely healthy environments and preserved Conditions. There are
automatic terminals in the region for Skinning, drying, sorting and packing in a proper way that Pistachio harvested at

aflatoxin hazardous contamination. The EU representatives have approved this fact during their visit at Rafsanjan & Sirjan
