YTD Inventory / Shipment Report
in Tons

 

Marketing Comments:

1.Crop Month (Marketing Month) 7 coincides with extended Iranian New Year holidays (Nouruz). The market is partially active for only 10-15 days during this month.
2.Domestic shipments are minimal during this month as packers have mostly purchased their requirements in month 5 & 6 prior to festivities.
3. Export shipments of this month standing at 3,140 tons, considering the remaining inventory, is proportionally higher than recent years. However, part of the export shipments for month 6 & 7 may have been shipped unsold due to currency instability.
4.The currency stability referred to in point 2 of previous month's comments did not last long. Recently, we have seen around 10% appreciation in Rial exchange rate vis-a-vi foreign currencies. This has locked the market both internationally and domestically as pistachio prices internationally in Dollar terms and domestically in Rial terms do not match. With present exchange rates, pistachios in Rafsanjan/Kerman are more expensive than what is available at major commercial destinations.
5. Regional instability combined with low pistachio stocks may result in continuation of the situation in month 8. At some point, this mismatch of Dollar vs. Rial prices must end either by reduction in Rial domestic pistachio prices or higher international prices.
6.The period when trees can suffer from spring frost is over with some damage to the early flowering varieties such as Jumbo (Kaleghuchi). IPA's crop 2012 initial assessment would take about a month to come out
