Central Valley, CA Pistachio Orchards Portfolio

Given the increasing interest in pistachio nuts in the United States as a nutritious and healthy snack and aided by growing middle class and overseas markets feeding the demand for exports, California pistachio growers have enjoyed consistently strong demand for their nut production.  In fact, the global demand for these nuts has propelled the United States to the position of number one exporter of pistachios in the world. Overall, approximately 99% of all US production of pistachios are from growers in
