Pistachios have exploded in popularity in recent years. While pistachios are a worldwide trend, more than 60% of the world’s supply is produced in the United States.

Pistachio trees are hardy, but they require a special climate to produce at their best. The San Joaquin Valley of California is one of the few places on the planet with a climate that’s perfect for pistachios.

A pistachio powerhouse, this region is of key interest to permanent crop investors, especially as water security becomes a critical factor in land values.

New research from our permanent crop investment team takes a look at some of the major forces impacting the U.S. pistachio industry, especially within the San Joaquin Valley, and discusses how these trends inform AcreTrader’s pistachio investment thesis.

Key Takeaways
