8 Countries that Produce the Most Pistachios in the World

4. China

Production: 74,000.00 tonnes

In the 4th place on this list of countries that produce the most pistachios in the world, we have China, which is better known for its rice production. Even though China’s pistachio production may seem big, it still not sufficient to satisfy their demand. Considering how big a country it is, and how many people it has, it would take much more pistachio to be produced each year to avoid imports. But that is hardly going to happen, since the only pistachio growing region in China, Xinjiang Autonomous Region is using most of their poor resources of water to grow tomatoes, cotton and melon crops, as these agricultural products are their main targets.
