Exporting pistachios to Europe

Popularity of pistachios as a luxury snack and the healthy snacking trend drives demand for pistachios in Europe. Pistachio kernels are being used more often in novel products as well. There are opportunities for new low- and middle-income country suppliers in Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and France. Emerging pistachio suppliers can gain a competitive advantage by offering safe, sustainable and high-quality products at stable prices. New suppliers must be able to compete with strong competition from the United States and Türkiye.
