| Abstract:
The detailed costs for establishment of a pistachio orchard and production of pistachios in the San Joaquin Valley are presented in this study. The hypothetical farm used in this report consists of 100 acres of pistachios 95 of which are planted. Practices described in this study are based on production procedures typically used for well managed orchards in this area. Additional practices not listed may be required. Sample costs given for labor, materials, equipment and contract services are based on current figures. Some costs and practices detailed in this study may not be applicable to every situation. This study is only intended as a guide and can be used in making production decisions, determining potential returns, preparing budgets and evaluating production loans. For an explanation of calculations used for the study refer to the attached General Assumptions or call the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Cooperative Extension, University of California, Davis, California, (916) 752–3589 or call the pistachio farm advisors in the San Joaquin Valley.
