Data definition
Apple Production — Apple production refers to the annual production output of apples, measured in tonnes or metric tons. The indicator presents country-level apple production statistics and time series, with values reported for each year in the selected period. It represents the quantity of apples harvested within a country under the relevant agricultural crop classification. Statistics are compiled from international agricultural databases and national agricultural reporting systems, including sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and official country data where available. The figures represent total apple production within the selected country and may include different apple varieties classified under the overall apple crop category.
The data includes harvested apple production from agricultural activities for commercial and farming purposes. It covers apples produced within the selected country and includes all apple varieties reported under the apple crop classification. The statistics account for annual harvested output and provide country-level production estimates across the selected time period. Data may incorporate official national reporting, agricultural surveys, and international estimates where direct reporting is unavailable.
The data excludes production of other fruits, nuts, and crops outside the apple category. It does not measure apple exports, imports, domestic consumption, processing volumes, storage quantities, market prices, or economic value. Differences may occur between sources due to variations in data collection methods, estimation techniques, reporting practices, harvested area assessments, yield calculations, and seasonal adjustments.

Between 2015 and 2024, Brazil’s apple production remained relatively stable but experienced fluctuations due to variations in weather conditions, especially temperature changes, rainfall patterns, and occurrences of frost that directly affect apple cultivation.
The data indicates that Brazil’s apple production ranged between approximately 0.98 million and 1.31 million tonnes during the period. Production was recorded at 1.26 million tonnes in 2015, followed by a decline to around 1.05 million tonnes in 2016. The sector recovered in subsequent years, reaching one of its highest levels at 1.31 million tonnes in 2017. However, production showed volatility afterward, falling to 1.20 million tonnes in 2018 and slightly increasing to 1.22 million tonnes in 2019.
In 2020, Brazil experienced a significant reduction in apple output, with production declining to approximately 0.98 million tonnes, the lowest level within the observed period. This decline can be associated with unfavorable climatic conditions and production challenges affecting orchard yields. However, the industry demonstrated resilience, recovering strongly in 2021 with production rising to approximately 1.30 million tonnes. The following years showed moderate fluctuations, with production remaining above one million tonnes but declining slightly to 1.18 million tonnes in 2023 and 0.99 million tonnes in 2024.
From a macroeconomic perspective, apple production is a useful indicator of Brazil’s agricultural stability, rural employment generation, and contribution to the food supply chain. The overall trend suggests that while Brazil maintains a consistent position as an apple producer, the sector remains vulnerable to environmental factors. Future growth will depend on climate adaptation strategies, improved agricultural technologies, and investments in sustainable production methods to ensure stable yields and strengthen Brazil’s agricultural competitiveness.
