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.
Output stabilized close to 36.7 thousand tonnes by 2024, indicating a resilient production pattern despite economic and environmental challenges. The relatively consistent production trend suggests that almond cultivation has maintained a stable position within Libya's agricultural sector, supported by suitable climatic conditions in key producing regions. Almond orchards benefit from Mediterranean growing conditions, although production remains influenced by rainfall patterns, irrigation availability, and broader agricultural infrastructure constraints. Limited fluctuations over the observed period indicate that existing orchard areas have remained relatively consistent, with modest improvements in agricultural practices helping sustain output. Domestic consumption represents the primary destination for production, while export activity remains comparatively small. Future development of Libya's almond industry could benefit from increased investment in irrigation systems, improved orchard management, access to higher-yield planting material, enhanced pest and disease control, and modernization of post-harvest handling facilities. Strengthening agricultural infrastructure and encouraging commercial investment may also support future expansion. Overall, Libya's almond production from 2015 to 2024 demonstrates a stable and resilient long-term production trend, highlighting consistent agricultural performance while indicating opportunities for modernization, productivity improvements, and gradual industry growth.
