8 Countries that Produce the Most Pistachios in the World

5. Syria

Production: 54,516.00 tonnes

Unfortunately, pistachio production in Syria is on a decline, due to the unfortunate circumstances affecting the country and all its industries. Nevertheless, Syria is putting efforts to keep with the production and to stay among the top pistachio producing countries, like it has been for many years and decades. You may be surprised to know that Syria is also among the countries that produce the most olives in the world. As for the pistachio use here, like in many other countries in the Middle East, they are mostly used as ingredients of desserts.
