Pistachios Being Crushed by Drought

It is set to be a terrible year for the pistachio - with global shortages set to hit.

The USDA has warned the United States, one of the world's two main pistachio producers, would cut the number of pistachios it harvested by nearly half this year, due mainly to California's punishing drought.

Meanwhile in Iran, which produced 250,000 tonnes of the nut last year, has warned its farms are 'being destroyed' by weather.

Combined, they will make a massive dent in the world's entire 529,000 ton pistachio crop for this year.
