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 increased slightly to 3.498 thousand tonnes in 2016 before declining sharply to 1.801 thousand tonnes in 2017. Production remained relatively stable between 2018 and 2021, fluctuating around 1.4 to 1.5 thousand tonnes, followed by a modest recovery to 2.652 thousand tonnes in 2023 before declining again in 2024. Almond cultivation in Jordan is concentrated in areas where climatic conditions and water availability support fruit tree production. However, agricultural production is heavily influenced by limited water resources, arid climatic conditions, rainfall variability, and increasing temperatures. These factors contribute to fluctuations in orchard productivity and harvested yields. The relatively small production volume reflects both environmental constraints and the limited area devoted to almond cultivation compared with other crops. Farmers increasingly adopt water-efficient irrigation methods and improved orchard management practices to maximize productivity under challenging conditions. Government initiatives promoting sustainable agriculture and efficient water use may contribute to maintaining almond production despite environmental pressures. Although annual production remains comparatively low, almonds continue to represent an important horticultural crop for local consumption and niche agricultural markets. Overall, Jordan's production trend indicates gradual decline over the decade, with occasional recoveries linked to favorable growing conditions. Continued investment in drought-resistant varieties, efficient irrigation systems, and modern cultivation practices could help improve production stability and strengthen the resilience of the country's almond sector.
