According to the yield report from the American Pistachio Growers Association, California's pistachio planting area is anticipated to expand at a rate of 5%, reaching an estimated 811,000 acres by 2031. By then, the expected yield is approximately 2.08 billion pounds, equivalent to 943,000 tons.

California accounts for 99% of the total pistachio production in the United States, while the remaining 1% comes from Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. This season, the United States has surpassed the production of 1.48 billion pounds (671,316 tons) of pistachios, boasting exceptional quality and size. Projections indicate that production may surpass 1.5 billion pounds (680,388 tons), exceeding the previous forecast of 1.3 billion pounds (589,670 tons). It is anticipated that in the next nine years, California's annual new planting area and overall annual production will both increase. As new orchards enter their fruiting stage, the pistachio-bearing area is anticipated to expand at a rate of 5.1% per year.
