Siirt pistachio, called “green gold” in Siirt province, has caught on in Germany, where it was first exported.
Last year, 7 tonnes of peanuts were exported to Germany under the own brand of Siirt Pistachio Processing Industry and Trade Inc., while the products, prepared in a hygienic environment through large market chains and online sales sites in the country, reached the consumers.
Packaged in high quality standards at the facility and prepared with attention to hygiene rules, the products first attracted attention in Germany, the country where it was first placed on the shelves.
Siirt Pistachio Processing Plant Board Member and Marketing Officer Erol Avcı told Anadolu Agency (AA) that they have gained a great advantage with Europe’s largest pistachio processing facility, which cost 10 million Euros 4 years ago.
