Pistachios are very difficult to grow. They favor extreme weather conditions so finding the right place to plant them is a big challenge for anyone who wants to mass produce these lovely nuts. One of the best places that provide the perfect environment for growing pistachios is in Iran and they are the top producer and exporter of pistachio nuts. This fact became problematic when the US had some political issues with Iran. But the silver lining to that was how the US managed to grow their own pistachios and the industry exploded, becoming the second largest pistachio producer and exporter in the world.
