Almond production refers to the annual output of almonds harvested within a country, measured in tonnes or metric tons.
North Macedonia Almond Production was 0.703 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, up 71% on 2023. North Macedonia Almond Production (2015–2024): North Macedonia maintained relatively small but consistent almond production between 2015 and 2024, with annual output generally remaining below 1,000 tonnes. Production declined from 906 tonnes in 2015 to 533 tonnes in 2017, before recovering gradually during subsequent years.
North Macedonia Almond Production moved from 0.906 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 0.703 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (−22.4%), an average of −2.8% a year. The series high was 0.906 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 and the low 0.411 Thousand Tonnes in 2023.
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2023) is 0.495 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +71% in 2024.
Among the 31 countries in this dataset, North Macedonia ranks 27 for 2024, behind U.S. (2,000 Thousand Tonnes) and Australia (370 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 0% of the global total in 2024.

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 improved to approximately 801 tonnes in both 2020 and 2022 before moderating again and reaching around 703 tonnes in 2024. These fluctuations primarily reflect changing weather conditions, rainfall variability, and differences in annual orchard productivity. Almond cultivation in North Macedonia is concentrated in warmer regions with favorable Mediterranean climatic influences, where the crop represents a valuable component of diversified fruit production. Production levels are influenced by spring frost, summer drought, water availability, and orchard management practices. Although the country's almond sector remains relatively small compared with larger European producers, gradual improvements in cultivation methods and orchard maintenance have supported relatively stable long-term production. Domestic almonds are primarily supplied to local food markets and food processing industries, with growing consumer interest in healthy nuts supporting continued cultivation. Farmers have increasingly adopted improved planting materials, better irrigation practices, and enhanced disease management to improve productivity despite climatic challenges. Government support for horticultural development and modernization has also contributed to gradual improvements in production efficiency. Overall, almond production in North Macedonia demonstrates moderate year-to-year variability but remains broadly stable over the decade. Continued investment in orchard modernization, efficient irrigation systems, improved varieties, and climate adaptation measures is expected to strengthen production performance while supporting sustainable growth of the country's almond sector over the long term.
