Abstract :Production of organic plants started the 1980s in Turkey, and organic fruits such as pistachio, almond, walnut, olive, and pomegranate have a short history in Anatolia. Many regions in our country have suitable ecological conditions for organic production of many fruit cultivars. Although organic agricultural production was realized to be 1.164.202 tons in Turkey in 2015, organic pistachio production was 1.141 tons. Turkey is not at the desired level when considering its potential and there is a need for maximizing to its potential. Therefore, organic pistachio production should be increased. Lack of knowledge of farmers on organic pistachio production, lack of research works and high costs production are the main problems in the organic production. The aim of this paper is to raise awareness of the organic pistachio potential and to encourage farmers on organic orcharding in our country.
