Exporting pistachios to Europe
Demand for pistachios in Europe is driven by the popularity of pistachios as a luxury snack and the healthy snacking trend. Pistachio kernels are being used more often in novel products too. There are opportunities for new developing 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 Turkey.
