Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
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.
About this indicator
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.
Output continued to improve, reaching 10.006 thousand tonnes in 2019, followed by 9.228 thousand tonnes in 2020. Production exceeded 10 thousand tonnes during 2021–2023, peaking at 10.803 thousand tonnes in 2022 before easing to 9.005 thousand tonnes in 2024. The overall trend reflects a mature almond industry characterized by relatively stable production rather than rapid expansion. Israel benefits from advanced agricultural technologies, modern irrigation systems, high-quality planting material, and efficient orchard management practices that contribute to consistent productivity despite limited land and water resources. The widespread use of precision agriculture, drip irrigation, and improved crop management has helped minimize the impact of climatic variability on almond production. Domestic demand from food processing and consumer markets, together with export opportunities, continues to support the sector. Annual fluctuations primarily reflect weather conditions, particularly rainfall distribution and temperature during flowering and fruit development. Overall, Israel maintained a stable almond production profile throughout the decade, with moderate growth compared with 2015 levels. Continued innovation in water-efficient farming, research, and sustainable agricultural practices is expected to support productivity and ensure long-term resilience of the country's almond industry despite increasing environmental challenges associated with climate change and resource availability.
