Walnut production refers to the total quantity of walnuts harvested and produced from walnut trees within a country or region during a specific year.
Morocco Walnut Production was 11.25 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, up 14.2% on 2023. Morocco’s walnut production between 2015 and 2024 highlights the role of walnut cultivation within the country’s diversified agricultural sector. Over this period, production experienced noticeable fluctuations due to variations in climatic conditions, orchard productivity, and agricultural management practices.
Morocco Walnut Production moved from 16.74 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 11.25 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (−32.8%), an average of −4.3% a year. The series high was 25.07 Thousand Tonnes in 2021 and the low 9.85 Thousand Tonnes in 2023.
The gap between the series high (2021) and low (2023) is 15.22 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +108.9% in 2021.
Among the 23 countries in this dataset, Morocco ranks 17 for 2024, behind China (1,500 Thousand Tonnes) and U.S. (547 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 0.3% of the global total in 2024.

Data definition
Walnut Production — Walnut production refers to the total quantity of walnuts harvested and produced from walnut trees within a country or region during a specific year. It measures the agricultural output of walnuts, including commercially cultivated walnut orchards and other agricultural production systems. The indicator represents harvested walnut quantities and is generally measured in tonnes, reflecting the scale, productivity, and growth trends of the walnut industry across different regions.
This indicator includes the total production of edible walnuts harvested from cultivated walnut trees, including varieties such as English/Persian walnuts and other commercially grown walnut species. It covers walnuts produced through agricultural farming systems, including orchard cultivation and managed plantations, and accounts for harvested walnut output intended for food consumption, processing, and trade purposes.
This indicator excludes walnut products that have undergone further processing, such as walnut oil, roasted walnuts, packaged walnut products, and other processed food items. It does not include imports, exports, consumption volumes, market value, or sales data. Non-food uses of walnut trees, such as timber production, are also excluded, as the indicator focuses only on agricultural walnut nut production.
Walnut Production — Walnut production refers to the total quantity of walnuts harvested and produced from walnut trees within a country or region during a specific year. It measures the agricultural output of walnuts, including commercially cultivated walnut orchards and other agricultural production systems. The indicator represents harvested walnut quantities and is generally measured in tonnes, reflecting the scale, productivity, and growth trends of the walnut industry across different regions.
Walnut production decreased from approximately 16.74 thousand tonnes in 2015 to around 11.25 thousand tonnes in 2024, indicating a moderate decline over the decade despite continued cultivation activities.
Walnut farming in the Morocco is primarily practiced in regions with favourable environmental conditions, particularly in the areas with suitable temperatures and water availability for tree growth. The sector includes traditional farming systems as well as developing commercial orchards, where walnuts contribute to rural livelihoods and agricultural diversification. Farmers rely on established cultivation methods, while improvements in orchard management and productivity continue to influence production outcomes.
During the period, walnut production showed significant yearly variations, reaching approximately 25.07 thousand tonnes in 2021 before declining in subsequent years. These changes reflect the sensitivity of walnut production to seasonal rainfall patterns, irrigation availability, and fluctuations in agricultural conditions. Despite these variations, Morocco continues to maintain walnut cultivation as part of its horticultural production landscape.
Walnut production contributes to Morocco’s agricultural economy by supporting rural communities, providing income opportunities, and supplying local markets with domestically produced nuts. The indicator represents the total quantity of walnuts harvested from cultivated walnut trees during a specific year. It includes edible walnut production from agricultural systems while excluding processed walnut products, international trade data, consumption volumes, market valuation, and non-food uses of walnut trees. This measure helps evaluate Morocco’s walnut production capacity, cultivation trends, and agricultural sector performance.
