Lower over the period
Croatia Walnut Production moved from 2.00 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 0.300 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (−85%), an average of −19% a year. The series high was 3.05 Thousand Tonnes in 2017 and the low 0.170 Thousand Tonnes in 2021.
What Croatia Walnut Production shows
Croatia Walnut Production was 0.300 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, up 66.7% on 2023. Croatia’s walnut production sector forms part of its diversified agricultural produce industry, supported by traditional orchard farming, favourable growing conditions, and small to medium-scale agricultural operations. Walnut cultivation has cultural and economic importance in several rural regions, where farmers maintain orchards for domestic consumption, local markets, and agricultural income generation.
A 94.4% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2017) and low (2021) is 2.88 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +441.2% in 2022.
Ranks 22 of 23 countries covered
Among the 23 countries in this dataset, Croatia ranks 22 for 2024, behind China (1,500 Thousand Tonnes) and U.S. (547 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 0% of the global total in 2024.

Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Walnut Production — Walnut production refers to the total quantity of walnuts harvested and produced from walnut trees within a country or region during a specific year. It measures the agricultural output of walnuts, including commercially cultivated walnut orchards and other agricultural production systems. The indicator represents harvested walnut quantities and is generally measured in tonnes, reflecting the scale, productivity, and growth trends of the walnut industry across different regions.
This indicator includes the total production of edible walnuts harvested from cultivated walnut trees, including varieties such as English/Persian walnuts and other commercially grown walnut species. It covers walnuts produced through agricultural farming systems, including orchard cultivation and managed plantations, and accounts for harvested walnut output intended for food consumption, processing, and trade purposes.
This indicator excludes walnut products that have undergone further processing, such as walnut oil, roasted walnuts, packaged walnut products, and other processed food items. It does not include imports, exports, consumption volumes, market value, or sales data. Non-food uses of walnut trees, such as timber production, are also excluded, as the indicator focuses only on agricultural walnut nut production.
About this indicator
Walnut Production — Walnut production refers to the total quantity of walnuts harvested and produced from walnut trees within a country or region during a specific year. It measures the agricultural output of walnuts, including commercially cultivated walnut orchards and other agricultural production systems. The indicator represents harvested walnut quantities and is generally measured in tonnes, reflecting the scale, productivity, and growth trends of the walnut industry across different regions.
Between 2015 and 2024, Croatia’s walnut production experienced significant fluctuations, decreasing from approximately 2,003 tonnes in 2015 to around 300 tonnes in 2024. Production variations were influenced by weather conditions, orchard productivity, seasonal harvest cycles, tree maturity, and changes in cultivated area. The relatively smaller production scale reflects the structure of Croatia’s walnut industry, which is primarily based on smaller farms and traditional cultivation systems rather than large commercial plantations. The sector includes harvested edible walnuts produced from cultivated walnut trees, supporting food consumption and limited processing activities. Improvements in orchard management, better planting techniques, and adoption of modern agricultural practices have the potential to enhance productivity and stabilize production levels. However, challenges such as climate variability, aging orchards, limited large-scale investment, and competition from major walnut-producing countries continue to influence industry growth. Walnut cultivation contributes to rural agricultural diversification and provides additional income opportunities for farming communities. This macro indicator evaluates Croatia’s annual walnut production by measuring the quantity of harvested walnuts from agricultural activities. It provides insights into production trends, cultivation performance, and changes within the domestic walnut sector. The indicator includes only primary walnut production and excludes processed products such as roasted walnuts, walnut oil, and packaged walnut-based foods. It also excludes trade activities, consumption data, market value, and non-food uses such as walnut timber production.
