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 rose steadily through 2018 before declining in 2019 due to weather-related challenges, particularly drought affecting agricultural regions. Production recovered strongly in subsequent years, reaching approximately 176 thousand tonnes in 2022, the highest level during the observed period. Although output declined in 2023, production rebounded in 2024, indicating continued resilience within Morocco's almond industry. Almond cultivation represents an important component of the country's horticultural sector, particularly in semi-arid and mountainous regions where suitable climatic conditions support tree crop production. Government agricultural modernization programs, improved irrigation infrastructure, expansion of orchard areas, and adoption of improved planting materials have contributed to long-term production growth. Nevertheless, annual output remains sensitive to rainfall variability and water availability. Domestic consumption accounts for a significant share of production, while exports provide additional market opportunities. Continued investment in efficient irrigation systems, climate-resilient farming practices, orchard renewal, and improved post-harvest infrastructure could further strengthen production stability and competitiveness. Future growth will depend on sustainable water management and continued modernization of cultivation techniques. Overall, Morocco's almond production during 2015–2024 demonstrates steady long-term expansion despite periodic climatic disruptions, highlighting the country's increasing importance as a regional almond producer with significant opportunities for continued agricultural development.
