Commercial production of pistachios in California in 1976: 0

Pistachios grown in California since 2000: 25% of world production, second only to Iran, which harvested the nut since the Achaemenid Empire

If a third of the world's arabica production is from Brazil, then there's no reason Argentina can't steal a lot of that during climate change. Apparently Vietnam went from 6,000 tons of robusta in 1975 to 2 million tons today. It's a crop, after all.
