Almond production refers to the annual output of almonds harvested within a country, measured in tonnes or metric tons.
Algeria Almond Production was 68.51 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, down 1.8% on 2023. Algeria Almond Production (2015–2024): Algeria's almond production experienced moderate fluctuations between 2015 and 2024 without establishing a sustained long-term upward or downward trend. Production began at approximately 76 thousand tonnes in 2015 before declining over the following years, reaching around 57 thousand tonnes in 2018.
Algeria Almond Production moved from 76.48 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 68.51 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (−10.4%), an average of −1.2% a year. The series high was 76.48 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 and the low 55.45 Thousand Tonnes in 2021.
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2021) is 21.03 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +26.6% in 2019.
Among the 31 countries in this dataset, Algeria ranks 11 for 2024, behind U.S. (2,000 Thousand Tonnes) and Australia (370 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 1.7% of the global total in 2024.

Data definition
Almond Production — Almond production refers to the annual output of almonds harvested within a country, measured in tonnes or metric tons. The indicator captures the quantity of almonds produced during a given year and provides a time series of national production levels. It reflects agricultural output from almond orchards intended for commercial, industrial, and agricultural use. Production statistics are compiled from international agricultural databases and official national reporting agencies, providing a standardized measure for comparing almond production across countries and over time.
The indicator includes harvested almonds produced from cultivated almond trees during the reporting year, regardless of whether the almonds are sold domestically, exported, or processed into products such as almond kernels, almond flour, almond milk, or almond oil. It covers commercial agricultural production reported by official statistical authorities and international organizations, including FAO and other recognized agricultural data sources. The figures represent gross production before processing and are reported for the selected country and reference period.
The indicator excludes imports, exports, stocks, consumption, trade values, prices, and post-harvest processing activities. It does not account for almond-derived products after processing, production losses occurring after harvest, or almonds harvested from wild or non-commercial sources unless included in official national statistics. The data also excludes forecasts, estimated future production, and production outside the selected country's geographical boundaries.
Almond Production — Almond production refers to the annual output of almonds harvested within a country, measured in tonnes or metric tons.

It reflects agricultural output from almond orchards intended for commercial, industrial, and agricultural use. Production statistics are compiled from international agricultural databases and official national reporting agencies, providing a standardized measure for comparing almond production across countries and over time.
Output recovered significantly in 2019 but declined again during 2020 and 2021 before gradually increasing to approximately 69 thousand tonnes in 2023. Production eased slightly in 2024 while remaining close to long-term average levels. These year-to-year changes primarily reflect the influence of rainfall variability, drought conditions, and differences in orchard productivity across the country's agricultural regions. Almond cultivation forms an important component of Algeria's horticultural sector, particularly in Mediterranean and semi-arid regions where climatic conditions support tree crop production. Continued improvements in irrigation systems, orchard management, and cultivation practices have contributed to maintaining relatively stable production despite climatic challenges. Domestic demand absorbs much of the country's almond production, while export activity remains comparatively limited. Future production growth may depend on expanding irrigated orchard areas, introducing higher-yield varieties, strengthening pest and disease management, and improving post-harvest infrastructure. Investments in climate-resilient agriculture and efficient water resource management will also play a significant role in sustaining long-term productivity. Overall, Algeria's almond production between 2015 and 2024 reflects a resilient agricultural sector characterized by periodic climatic fluctuations while maintaining a stable production base with opportunities for gradual modernization and productivity enhancement.
