The cooperative co. came to being 35 years ago to the effect
that it should put an end to the disorganized situation running
throughout the pistachio production and marketing.
In that time, thousands of pistachio growers suffered from
chaotic economy and found no way to curb the unreasonable
decrease of pistachio price. The grower proceeded to establish
the cooperative in the hope of approaching complicatednesses
through putting together all the facilities.
The cooperative has influenced deeply on encouraging keenness
in pistachio growers to expand pistachio orchard areas and
improve the product quality, through providing them with equipments,
machineries, implements & supplies.
