Almond production refers to the annual output of almonds harvested within a country, measured in tonnes or metric tons.
France Almond Production was 2.18 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, up 2.3% on 2023. France experienced noticeable fluctuations in almond production between 2015 and 2024 while maintaining an overall upward trend across the decade. Production increased from 780 tonnes in 2015 to 2,180 tonnes in 2024, representing substantial long-term growth despite periods of volatility.
France Almond Production moved from 0.780 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 2.18 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (+179.5%), an average of +12.1% a year. The series high was 2.52 Thousand Tonnes in 2022 and the low 0.780 Thousand Tonnes in 2015.
The gap between the series high (2022) and low (2015) is 1.74 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +82.3% in 2020.
Among the 31 countries in this dataset, France ranks 24 for 2024, behind U.S. (2,000 Thousand Tonnes) and Australia (370 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 0.1% of the global total in 2024.

Data definition
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.

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.
Output rose sharply to 1,139 tonnes in 2016, declined slightly to 1,078 tonnes in 2017, and recovered to 1,130 tonnes in both 2018 and 2019, indicating relatively stable production during the middle years of the period. A significant expansion occurred in 2020, when production nearly doubled to 2,060 tonnes, reflecting improved harvest performance and increased orchard productivity. Production moderated slightly to 1,940 tonnes in 2021 before reaching a decade-high 2,520 tonnes in 2022. Although output declined to 2,130 tonnes in 2023, production recovered marginally to 2,180 tonnes in 2024, remaining considerably higher than the levels recorded during the first half of the decade. The long-term pattern suggests that France has strengthened its almond production capacity through gradual expansion and improved agricultural practices, despite the influence of annual weather variability on harvest outcomes. The fluctuations observed during the period are typical of perennial tree crops, where climatic conditions can significantly affect annual yields. Overall, France demonstrated strong growth in almond production between 2015 and 2024, with production levels in the later years substantially exceeding those recorded at the beginning of the period. The data highlight the continued development and increasing importance of almond cultivation within the country's agricultural sector.
