Pistachios in the Latest Year

Across the countries with values in both 2022 and 2023, the total rose 12.8 percent from 724,785 tonnes, a gain of 92,636 tonnes, with nobody entering or leaving. Iran added 80,320 tonnes (42.0 percent up) while the United States fell 29,221 (16.6 percent down). Belgium dropped 5,284 tonnes and Hong Kong 4,195. China rose 27,002 tonnes, Vietnam 4,920 and India 4,337, with Italy up 3,872.

Pistachios Across the Full Series

Among the 158 countries reporting in both 2019 and 2023, the total climbed from 662,666 tonnes to 817,410, a gain of 154,744 tonnes or 23.4 percent. The United States added 112,469 tonnes, 72.7 percent of the net rise, most of it between 2019 and 2020. China shed 33,910 tonnes while Iran added 30,502 and Vietnam 18,308. Syria rose 13,681 tonnes, Hong Kong fell 12,734, with India up 8,946 and Italy 8,505. Four countries left and five joined, Liberia the largest newcomer at 6.15 tonnes.

Pistachios Per Person

Iran's 8.22 grams a day kept it first on the per-person table, ahead of Syria at 4.94 and Malta at 3.08. Kuwait (1.47), Israel (1.41) and Georgia (1.22) followed, with the United States at 1.17 and Italy at 1.15.

What the Pistachios Data Covers

Pistachios in shell stand as one FAO line, tracked apart from shelled pistachios and from other tree nuts. A country's figure is the supply available to its people in the reference year, not a crop total, and the grams-per-person column divides that supply by the country's population.

Pistachios Extremes and Zero Reports

Malta's per-person supply rose from 0.03 grams a day in 2019 to 3.08, the largest per-person increase in the table, while its tonnage went from 11.12 tonnes in 2022 to 598.19. FAO lists zero for Belgium in 2023 after 5,284 tonnes in 2022, and for Greece since 2021 and Slovakia since 2023; a blank cell would mean no report, and zeros after large values are worth checking against the source.

Methodology

Every percentage is taken against the first year of the pair, and none is shown when that first figure is zero. The tonnage column carries FAO's food supply quantity for pistachios in shell (element 5141) from 2019 to 2023, and the grams-per-person column carries element 665 over the same years. A two-year comparison counts only the countries present in both. An explicit zero and a missing entry carry different meanings and are kept apart. The figures describe food available for human consumption, leaving household waste and losses out, so the amount eaten is lower. The table holds 168 countries, with the China aggregate, world and regional rows excluded and China appearing once; 163 report a 2023 value. Compiled by StatsGeo from FAO FAOSTAT.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which country eats the most pistachios per person?

Iran, at 8.22 grams per person per day in 2023, ahead of Syria at 4.94 and Malta at 3.08 among the countries with a 2023 value.

How much pistachio supply was available in 2023?

The 163 countries reporting a 2023 value held a total food supply of 817,421 tonnes, up 12.8% from 724,785 tonnes in 2022, a gain of 92,636 tonnes.

How much did Iran's pistachio supply change in 2023?

Iran climbed from 191,426 tonnes in 2022 to 271,746 in 2023, though the result stayed below the 287,822 tonnes of 2021, so 2023 was a recovery rather than a new peak.

Is this what people actually eat?

No. The numbers track pistachio food supply, the quantity available for human consumption in a year, not actual intake, so they overstate what was eaten.

How much did US pistachio supply grow?

US supply rose from 34,056 tonnes in 2019 to 146,525 in 2023, a gain of 112,469 tonnes, most of the increase coming between 2019 and 2020.
