Syria allocates 67,900 hectares for pistachios
The Syrian government is working to develop and strengthen the pistachio sector, which is cultivated on an area of approximately 67,900 hectares and includes over 10 million trees, most of which are bearing fruit. The national plan for the period from 2026 to 2040 aims to increase pistachio production by between 50% and 75%, with expectations of producing around 15,000 tons in the 2026 season compared to 41,000 tons in 2025, despite the recent season being affected by drought. Pistachios are considered a product of high economic value, exported to Europe and the Gulf region, with export revenues reaching $58.6 million in 2025. Syria is also working to improve production through agricultural programs, establishing origin certificates, training farmers, and developing the crop’s value chain in cooperation with international organizations and private companies, all aimed at strengthening the sector's position, achieving food security, and boosting exports.
