Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
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.
About this indicator
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.
Between 2015 and 2022, annual production increased steadily, reaching 49.04 thousand tonnes in 2022, the highest level during the observed period. Output expanded consistently through 33.80 thousand tonnes in 2016, 36.62 thousand tonnes in 2017, 40.79 thousand tonnes in 2018, and 42.59 thousand tonnes in 2019, reflecting improvements in orchard productivity and the gradual expansion of almond cultivation. Production continued to increase to 45.28 thousand tonnes in 2020 and 48.80 thousand tonnes in 2021, highlighting sustained sector growth. Although production declined slightly to 46.84 thousand tonnes in 2023 and 45.97 thousand tonnes in 2024, output remained well above the levels recorded at the beginning of the decade. The overall trend indicates a strong and expanding almond industry supported by favorable climatic conditions, modern agricultural practices, and increasing cultivation efficiency. The modest decline during the final two years likely reflects normal agricultural variability rather than a structural slowdown in production. Chile continues to strengthen its position as one of the leading almond producers in South America through sustained improvements in productivity and orchard development. Overall, the data demonstrate that Chile achieved robust growth in almond production between 2015 and 2024 despite minor short-term fluctuations, reflecting the long-term expansion and resilience of its almond sector.
