Market Demand — Pistachio
Global consumption & trade · FAO 2010–2023Is Pistachio viable in Punjab?
Pistachio is well suited to Punjab: growing-season temperatures (~29.5°C) and rainfall (~752 mm) fall within its 25–35°C range. Pistachio (Fruits & Stimulants, perennial) performs best around 25 - 35 °C with a seasonal water requirement of 700 mm / season. Run a coordinate-level audit for mapped field-level estimates and local risk context.
Growing Pistachio in Punjab: what to expect
Rainfall in Punjab (~752 mm/yr) roughly matches Pistachio's ~700 mm need, so a normal year needs little supplemental water. Pistachio can be established year-round in Punjab's frost-free climate, ideally at the start of the wet season.
