Almond production refers to the annual output of almonds harvested within a country, measured in tonnes or metric tons.
Greece Almond Production was 30.78 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, down 16.2% on 2023. Greece Almond Production (2015–2024): Greece experienced moderate fluctuations in almond production between 2015 and 2024, reflecting the influence of weather variability, orchard productivity, and seasonal growing conditions.
Greece Almond Production moved from 37.56 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 30.78 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (−18.1%), an average of −2.2% a year. The series high was 43.00 Thousand Tonnes in 2017 and the low 21.95 Thousand Tonnes in 2019.
The gap between the series high (2017) and low (2019) is 21.05 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +48.1% in 2022.
Among the 31 countries in this dataset, Greece ranks 16 for 2024, behind U.S. (2,000 Thousand Tonnes) and Australia (370 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 0.8% 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.
Production remained around 38 thousand tonnes during 2015–2017 before declining significantly to approximately 22 thousand tonnes by 2019 due to unfavorable climatic conditions and lower yields in several producing regions. Output recovered partially during 2020 and 2021 but continued to fluctuate over subsequent years, reaching approximately 31 thousand tonnes in 2024. Greece's almond cultivation is concentrated in regions including Thessaly, Central Macedonia, and parts of Central Greece, where suitable Mediterranean climatic conditions support commercial orchard production. Annual production is highly influenced by spring frost events, drought, irregular rainfall, and summer temperatures, all of which directly affect flowering, fruit set, and final yields. Improvements in irrigation infrastructure, orchard management, and disease control have supported gradual productivity gains in several producing areas, although climatic risks continue to create year-to-year volatility. Domestic demand for almonds remains strong due to their extensive use in confectionery, bakery products, traditional sweets, and food processing industries. The growing popularity of almonds as a healthy snack and ingredient has also encouraged continued cultivation despite production variability. Although Greece is smaller than major global producers, almonds remain an important high-value horticultural crop within the country's agricultural sector. Overall, the production trend demonstrates resilience despite periodic declines, with farmers increasingly adopting improved cultivation practices and modern orchard management techniques. Continued investment in irrigation efficiency, climate adaptation, improved varieties, and sustainable agricultural practices is expected to strengthen Greece's almond production and enhance long-term productivity while reducing vulnerability to adverse weather conditions.
