Abstract :
Increase in the exchange rate may not always promote export of non-oil production and exports of
various goods; rather they might have different reactions to the exchange rate. Hence, in this study we tried to
examine the effect of real effective exchange rate on Iranian pistachio export. The required data were collected
from statistical yearbook of Iranʹs foreign trade, statistical yearbook of the International Monetary Fund, United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, and various publications of the central bank of Iran for the period of
1974-2008. The results showed that the real effective exchange rate, income of importer countries and domestic
production have positive effects on export of pistachio but the effect of the domestic price index to the global
pistachio export price index ratio was negative. Hence, it is recommended in order to produce more the crop as
well as reduce the domestic price adopted employing advanced production& processing methods, extending the
cultivation levels and improving the performance per hectare so that promote the ways of pistachio export.
