Pistachio farmers cultivate pistachio trees to produce pistachios, a popular nut known for its unique flavor and health benefits. These farmers typically grow their trees in regions with warm, dry climates, such as parts of California, Iran, and Turkey. The trees require specific conditions, including well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight, to thrive and produce high-quality nuts. Harvesting pistachios usually occurs in late summer to early fall when the nuts are ripe. Farmers use specialized equipment to shake the trees, allowing the nuts to fall to the ground. After harvesting, the pistachios are processed and packaged for sale, contributing to the global nut market.
