Mahalat, with over 23,000 hectares of pistachio orchards and around 100 processing units, is considered one of the important centers for pistachio production in Khorasan Razavi and the capital of almond pistachios in Iran. However, part of the product produced in this county is marketed under the name and brand of other provinces; a situation that highlights the necessity of strengthening branding, developing modern packaging, and creating specialized export infrastructures more than ever.
