Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc., the nation’s second-largest pistachio grower and processor, has announced another record-breaking harvest for the pistachio industry, yielding 1.571 billion pounds. Setton, which offers one of the largest varieties of pistachio SKUs on the market, is poised to meet the industry’s growing demand with more product available than ever, it says.

“We processed more pistachios than ever this season,” says Setton Pistachio Senior Director of Grower Services and Farming Jeff Gibbons. “The crop maturity timing, combined with our increased processing capacity, facilitated quick turnaround times at Setton’s processing facilities.” 

The demand for pistachios remains high, surpassing the industry’s current production capacity. With Setton’s expanded processing capability comprising five facilities, including its new hulling facility in Zamora, CA, the company is well-positioned for sustained growth and leadership, it notes. As a result, Setton is welcoming new growers to join its family of growers.   

“With additional capacity from our new Zamora hulling facility, along with other plant expansion efforts, Setton is now better equipped than ever to expand our grower network,” said Setton Pistachio General Manager Harris Lee Cohen. “We are excited to extend our partnership opportunities to further support the industry and Setton’s legacy.”
