Iranian pistachio update 16 October,2018
The strike of truck drivers ended and the transport system returned to normal.
The price of the dollar increased compared to the previous week (125,000 Rials) and amounted to 142,000 Rails, two weeks ago the price of the dollar reached 170,000 Rails, so farmers increased their pistachio prices,
But they are resisting against decreasing pistachio price same as currency price,The most alarming news for the big traders is the announcement of the Iranian government that said all export income (currency like dolor) must return back to Iran and sales it at a governmental (secondary) price rate (of about 100,000 Rial for us Dollar), some traders have given up their pistachio exports after this rule.
