About nuts, edible; pistachios, fresh or dried, shelled

HS code 080252 covers the trade of fresh or dried, shelled pistachios. Pistachios are a popular and nutritious tree nut that are widely consumed around the world. As a major agricultural product, the pistachio industry plays a significant role in the global food and agricultural economy, with major producers and exporters located in regions such as the Middle East, the United States, and Mediterranean countries.

Production process

Pistachio production involves several key steps. Pistachios are grown on pistachio trees, which are typically harvested once or twice per year. The nuts are then hulled, dried, and shelled to remove the outer shell and inner kernel. Sophisticated processing techniques may also be used to sort, grade, and package the nuts for distribution.

Production inputs

The pistachio industry relies on a range of inputs, including fertile agricultural land, a suitable climate, and access to water resources for irrigation. Specialized farming equipment and machinery are also required for harvesting and processing the nuts. Additionally, labor, transportation, and packaging materials are important inputs in the supply chain.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 080252 is shelled, edible pistachios.
