Walnut production refers to the total quantity of walnuts harvested and produced from walnut trees within a country or region during a specific year.
Europe Walnut Production was 429.4 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, up 14.8% on 2023. Europe remains one of the world's most significant wheat-producing regions, supported by fertile agricultural land, advanced farming practices, favourable climatic conditions, and a long-established cereal cultivation tradition.
Europe Walnut Production moved from 351 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 429.4 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (+22.3%), an average of +2.3% a year. The series high was 429.4 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 and the low 340.3 Thousand Tonnes in 2016.
The gap between the series high (2024) and low (2016) is 89.10 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +14.8% in 2024.
Within Europe, France has the highest value in 2024 at 27.71 Thousand Tonnes, 6.5% of the regional total.

Data definition
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.

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, wheat production across Europe reflected a combination of stability and periodic fluctuations driven by weather variability, input costs, and changing agricultural policies. Major producing countries such as France, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Romania, and other European nations collectively contributed a substantial share of global wheat production, reinforcing the region's strategic importance in international grain markets.
Throughout the period, wheat production benefited from continuous improvements in seed technology, mechanisation, precision agriculture, irrigation systems, and efficient crop management practices. However, annual production varied due to droughts, excessive rainfall, heatwaves, frost events, and geopolitical developments that affected cultivation areas, harvesting activities, and export logistics in certain years. Despite these temporary disruptions, the region demonstrated resilience through technological innovation, improved farm management, and diversified production systems.
Western and Central European countries generally maintained consistent production levels owing to highly mechanised agricultural sectors and favourable infrastructure, while Eastern Europe continued expanding its contribution through increasing cultivation areas and productivity improvements. Sustainable farming initiatives, soil conservation measures, efficient fertiliser application, and climate-resilient agricultural practices further strengthened long-term production performance across the region.
Europe's wheat industry plays a crucial role in ensuring food security, supporting livestock feed production, supplying raw materials for flour milling and food processing industries, and sustaining export competitiveness. Ongoing investments in agricultural research, digital farming technologies, improved crop varieties, and environmentally sustainable production practices are expected to enhance productivity and resilience. Overall, wheat production in Europe between 2015 and 2024 highlights the region's strong agricultural foundation, technological advancement, and continued significance as one of the leading contributors to global wheat production.
