That's exactly the point. Pistachios are expensive now, so for the past 3 years, there's been a pistachio fever where farmers have been planting so many of the trees. But trees take years until they yield pistachio, so for now the investment is made and the trees are just growing, but the pistachio production has barely grown. In a few years, the trees will start producing, the market will be saturated with pistachio, and the price at the farm of pistachios will drop dramatically as it always happens with every fucking boom-bust crop
