Analysis of Pistachio and Pistachio Kernel Markets with Global Context – July 2025

Prior to the recent geopolitical conflicts, the pistachio and pistachio kernel markets, especially those destined for major importers like East Asia, were experiencing steady demand and stable prices. Rahmani Group has consistently supplied high-quality, Aflatoxin-free pistachios and pistachio kernels, aligning with global quality standards and catering to discerning markets in Europe, Asia, and beyond.

Throughout the recent months, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, the pistachio market has demonstrated resilience. Our operations have continued seamlessly, and our pistachio export remained uninterrupted, reaffirming our position as a trusted supplier. In the broader market, prices for pistachios and pistachio kernels remained relatively stable until the conflict’s escalation, when increased uncertainty and logistical bottlenecks caused a temporary price rise.

Once the geopolitical conflicts began to subside, and stability was restored, the pistachio market regained its footing. The initial price hikes due to supply fears and trade disruptions softened, returning the market to more balanced levels. Currently, pistachio prices are steady, with supply satisfying demand and no significant fluctuations observed. Main problem is that due to now being last weeks of crop season, available stock is low and finding good quality stock is low.

Market Outlook:

Looking forward, we expect the pistachio and pistachio kernel markets to remain stable until the upcoming harvest season in September. The market is poised for a calm phase through the summer months, but we anticipate renewed energy and activity once the August holidays in Europe are over. After the holiday season, demand from Europe, Asia, and other regions is likely to pick up, especially for premium, Aflatoxin-free pistachios supplied by Rahmani Group, leading to a more dynamic market environment heading into the new season.

Market Dynamics:

Although the weather remains hot across many regions, the demand for pistachio-related products—particularly pistachio cream—has remained exceptionally strong worldwide. In the European Union, the market is showing especially vibrant activity, driven by increasing consumer interest in premium, natural, and pistachio-based products. This sustained and robust demand has become a very strong driver of pistachio and pistachio cream prices, supporting a healthy market environment despite external uncertainties. We expect as we get closer to the new season we can expect less volume to ship and prices to tend to be higher in EU region and in India or East Asia, they will start to go looking for lower qualities and cheaper rates, which will help market to stay alive
