American Pistachio Growers, the trade association for the United States pistachio industry, host an online event to showcases this year's harvest and shared with Chinese customers on Thursday.

Pistachio grower Richard Kreps showcased his fields in California with the audience through cameras.

According to Judy Hirigoyen, vice-president at American Pistachio Growers, China has become the largest export market for American pistachios in the past few years and their pistachios can be found in many supermarkets and online retail platforms in China.

She said that as the holiday season is coming, pistachios can be a good present for families to share and she hoped the American pistachios can bring more nutrition and happiness to Chinese families and customers.
