– Cashew Nut Production refers to the total quantity of cashew nuts harvested and produced within a country during a specified period, measured in tonnes.
Mexico Cashew Nut Production was 0.652 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, down 5.2% on 2023. The Mexico Cashew Nut Production dataset provides a comprehensive assessment of the country's cashew cultivation performance and the development of its cashew farming industry between 2015 and 2024. Measured in Tonnes, the dataset serves as an important benchmark for evaluating agricultural productivity, orchard output, crop performance, supply chain efficiency, and the overall development of Mexico's cashew sector.
Mexico Cashew Nut Production moved from 4.29 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 0.652 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (−84.8%), an average of −18.9% a year. The series high was 4.29 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 and the low 0.652 Thousand Tonnes in 2024.
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2024) is 3.64 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was −80.8% in 2022.
Among the 18 countries in this dataset, Mexico ranks 17 for 2024, behind India (794.9 Thousand Tonnes) and Tanzania (528.3 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 0% of the global total in 2024.

Data definition
Cashew Nut Production — – Cashew Nut Production refers to the total quantity of cashew nuts harvested and produced within a country during a specified period, measured in tonnes. The indicator reflects the scale of cashew cultivation and agricultural output and is used to assess crop productivity, farming capacity, and the contribution of cashew production to the agricultural sector. The data presented by Our World in Data is based on statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The data includes the annual production of cashew nuts harvested from cashew trees and recorded as agricultural output. It covers cashew nuts produced for food consumption, processing into cashew kernels, export markets, and other food-related applications. The figures represent harvested production quantities collected from official agricultural statistics and standardized by the FAO to enable international comparisons across countries and years.
The data excludes cashew kernel processing output, cashew nut exports and imports, cashew-based processed products such as roasted cashews, cashew butter, and confectionery products. It also excludes cashew cultivation area, yield per hectare, post-harvest losses, inventory changes, and informal or unrecorded production not captured in official agricultural statistics. Other tree nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and peanuts are not included in this indicator.

Based on the validated data, Mexico recorded an overall declining production trend during the study period. Production decreased from 4,287.74 tonnes in 2015 to 3,603.44 tonnes in 2016, before recovering slightly to 3,767.39 tonnes in 2017. Output declined to 3,555.63 tonnes in 2018 and remained relatively stable at 3,563.04 tonnes in 2019, before increasing to 4,077.27 tonnes in 2020. Production then fell to 3,781.05 tonnes in 2021, followed by a sharp decline to 726.90 tonnes in 2022, 687.61 tonnes in 2023, and 651.75 tonnes in 2024, the lowest level during the study period. Overall, the dataset highlights a significant contraction in Mexico's cashew nut production in recent years despite relatively stable output during the first half of the period. The dataset provides valuable insights into production trends, agricultural performance, and long-term developments in the country's cashew industry. It supports year-over-year analysis, benchmarking against other major cashew-producing countries, and forecasting future production. Policymakers, agricultural producers, exporters, investors, market analysts, researchers, and agribusiness stakeholders can use the dataset to evaluate production performance, monitor industry trends, identify investment opportunities, improve supply chain planning, and support evidence-based strategies for sustainable growth across Mexico's cashew value chain.
