Walnut production refers to the total quantity of walnuts harvested and produced from walnut trees within a country or region during a specific year.
Pakistan Walnut Production was 13.86 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, down 3% on 2023. Pakistan’s walnut production between 2015 and 2024 demonstrates a relatively stable agricultural trend, supported by traditional walnut cultivation practices, favourable growing conditions in northern regions, and continued contribution from small-scale farming communities.
Pakistan Walnut Production moved from 14.83 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 13.86 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (−6.6%), an average of −0.8% a year. The series high was 15.23 Thousand Tonnes in 2021 and the low 13.75 Thousand Tonnes in 2016.
The gap between the series high (2021) and low (2016) is 1.48 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was −7.3% in 2016.
Among the 23 countries in this dataset, Pakistan ranks 15 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.
During this period, walnut production remained consistent with minor annual variations, reflecting changes in climatic conditions, orchard productivity, harvesting efficiency, and agricultural management practices. Production decreased slightly from approximately 14.83 thousand tonnes in 2015 to around 13.86 thousand tonnes in 2024, indicating a marginal decline while maintaining a stable production base over the decade.
Walnut cultivation in Pakistan is concentrated mainly in mountainous areas, particularly regions with suitable temperate climates that support the growth of walnut trees. The sector relies significantly on traditional farming systems, where walnut orchards contribute to rural income generation and local agricultural diversity. The availability of suitable landscapes and long-established cultivation practices helps sustain walnut production despite challenges such as limited modernization, fluctuating weather conditions, and changing input costs.
Throughout the period, walnut output showed moderate fluctuations, with production reaching its highest level of approximately 15.24 thousand tonnes in 2021 before gradually declining in subsequent years. The overall trend indicates that Pakistan’s walnut industry has maintained resilience, continuing to provide a stable supply of walnuts for domestic consumption and agricultural markets.
Walnut production plays an important role in supporting Pakistan’s horticultural sector by contributing to rural employment, farmer livelihoods, and the availability of locally produced nuts. The indicator measures the total quantity of walnuts harvested from cultivated walnut trees within the country during a specific year. It includes edible walnut output from agricultural production systems while excluding processed walnut products, imports, exports, market values, consumption volumes, and non-food uses of walnut trees. This production indicator provides insights into Pakistan’s walnut farming capacity, productivity trends, and long-term agricultural development.
