Almond production refers to the annual output of almonds harvested within a country, measured in tonnes or metric tons.
Pakistan Almond Production was 16.76 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, down 3.4% on 2023. Pakistan's almond production showed a gradual downward trend between 2015 and 2024, declining from 21.881 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 16.757 thousand tonnes in 2024. Production remained relatively stable during the initial years, fluctuating between approximately 20 and 22 thousand tonnes from 2015 through 2020.
Pakistan Almond Production moved from 21.88 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 16.76 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (−23.4%), an average of −2.9% a year. The series high was 21.88 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 and the low 16.76 Thousand Tonnes in 2024.
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2024) is 5.12 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was −12% in 2021.
Among the 31 countries in this dataset, Pakistan ranks 18 for 2024, behind U.S. (2,000 Thousand Tonnes) and Australia (370 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 0.4% 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.

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.
After reaching 21.094 thousand tonnes in 2020, output declined steadily to 18.57 thousand tonnes in 2021, 18.106 thousand tonnes in 2022, 17.345 thousand tonnes in 2023, and the lowest level of the decade in 2024. Almond cultivation in Pakistan is concentrated mainly in mountainous and semi-arid regions where climatic conditions are suitable for tree crops. Production is influenced by irrigation availability, rainfall, temperature variations, and orchard management practices. The gradual decline observed over the decade may reflect factors such as aging orchards, water shortages, changing cropping patterns, and weather-related challenges including drought and frost. Competition from other high-value horticultural crops and variations in harvested area may also have contributed to lower production levels. Despite the downward trend, almonds continue to represent an important specialty crop serving domestic consumption and local processing industries. Farmers increasingly focus on improving productivity through better varieties, efficient irrigation systems, and modern cultivation techniques to enhance yields. Continued investment in orchard renewal, disease management, and climate-resilient farming practices could help stabilize production over the coming years. Overall, while Pakistan experienced relatively modest annual fluctuations, the long-term trend points toward a gradual contraction in almond production during the study period, highlighting the importance of sustainable agricultural practices to improve future output and maintain competitiveness in the horticultural sector.
