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.
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.
According to the data, global almond production increased significantly during the period, rising from approximately 2.7 million tonnes in 2015 to nearly 4 million tonnes by 2024. This growth reflects expanding almond cultivation areas, improvements in orchard management practices, technological advancements in farming techniques, and rising international demand for almonds as a nutritious food ingredient and agricultural commodity.
Almond production is influenced by several factors, including climatic conditions, water availability, agricultural policies, yield improvements, and market demand. Major almond-producing regions contribute significantly to global supply through commercial almond orchards focused on both domestic consumption and international trade. The indicator includes harvested almond production from cultivated almond trees, covering almonds produced for food processing, direct consumption, and industrial applications such as almond oil, almond flour, and other value-added products. Data represents gross agricultural production before processing and is compiled from internationally recognized agricultural databases and official statistical sources.
The indicator excludes almond imports, exports, consumption levels, market prices, trade values, and processed almond product output. It also does not include production losses after harvesting, non-commercial almond harvesting, or future production estimates. Overall, global almond production serves as a key macroeconomic agricultural indicator for understanding supply trends, production capacity, and the long-term growth potential of the worldwide almond industry.
