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.
The relatively steady output indicates a stable production base supported by existing cultivation practices and continued maintenance of walnut-growing areas.
Walnut cultivation in Egypt is influenced by the availability of suitable agricultural land, irrigation facilities, and farming practices adapted to local climatic conditions. Although walnuts are not among the country’s largest agricultural commodities, their production contributes to crop diversification and provides additional opportunities for farmers involved in horticultural activities. The sector mainly depends on managed agricultural systems where walnut trees are cultivated for edible nut production.
Throughout the decade, Egypt’s walnut production experienced gradual declines during some years, reaching approximately 23.56 thousand tonnes in 2022, followed by a slight recovery in the following years. These changes reflect the impact of environmental conditions, agricultural resource availability, and variations in orchard productivity. The overall trend demonstrates a stable industry with limited expansion but continued contribution to domestic agricultural output.
Walnut production in Egypt supports local food markets and contributes to the broader agricultural produce sector. The indicator measures the annual quantity of walnuts harvested from cultivated walnut trees within the country. It includes edible walnut output produced through farming systems while excluding processed walnut products, imports, exports, consumption levels, market values, and non-food applications of walnut trees. The data provides insights into Egypt’s walnut cultivation patterns, production stability, and long-term agricultural performance.
