Almond production refers to the annual output of almonds harvested within a country, measured in tonnes or metric tons.
Oceania Almond Production was 370 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, up 15.6% on 2023. Between 2015 and 2024, Oceania recorded strong growth in almond production, driven primarily by the expansion of commercial almond orchards in Australia, the region's dominant producer. Regional production increased from approximately 155.30 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 370.00 thousand tonnes in 2024, representing substantial long-term growth.
Oceania Almond Production moved from 155.3 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 370 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (+138.2%), an average of +10.1% a year. The series high was 370 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 and the low 155.3 Thousand Tonnes in 2015.
The gap between the series high (2024) and low (2015) is 214.7 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +22.5% in 2019.
Within Oceania, Australia has the highest value in 2024 at 370 Thousand Tonnes, 100% of the regional total.

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.
Although output declined slightly in 2018 and moderated in 2023, the overall trend remained strongly upward, reflecting continued investment in orchard expansion, improved farming practices, and rising global demand for almonds. Production increased steadily throughout most of the decade, with particularly notable gains between 2019 and 2022, demonstrating the region's strengthening position in the international almond market.
Oceania's almond production is influenced by several factors, including orchard area, tree maturity, irrigation availability, climatic conditions, soil quality, pollination efficiency, pest and disease management, and the adoption of advanced agricultural technologies. The widespread use of precision agriculture, mechanized harvesting, efficient irrigation systems, and improved almond varieties has significantly enhanced productivity and production efficiency. Almonds produced in Oceania are widely used for direct consumption and for manufacturing value-added products such as almond milk, almond flour, almond butter, confectionery, bakery products, edible oils, snack foods, and other food ingredients.
The indicator includes domestically produced almonds harvested from cultivated orchards across Oceania and covers annual production reported under the almond product classification. It excludes imports, exports, inventories, domestic consumption, processing volumes, market prices, trade values, and the economic value of the almond industry. Variations in reported production figures may result from differences in seasonal weather conditions, water availability, harvested area, crop yields, and agricultural reporting methodologies.
Overall, Oceania's almond production between 2015 and 2024 reflects a rapidly expanding and technologically advanced almond industry, reinforcing the region's growing importance in global almond production and its role as a major supplier to international markets.
