Almond production refers to the annual output of almonds harvested within a country, measured in tonnes or metric tons.
Syria Almond Production was 60.83 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, down 55.1% on 2023. Syria's almond production exhibited significant fluctuations between 2015 and 2024, reflecting the combined influence of climatic variability and agricultural challenges. Production increased from 51.686 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 55.459 thousand tonnes in 2016 before declining slightly in 2017.
Syria Almond Production moved from 51.69 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 60.83 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (+17.7%), an average of +1.8% a year. The series high was 135.4 Thousand Tonnes in 2023 and the low 31.62 Thousand Tonnes in 2022.
The gap between the series high (2023) and low (2022) is 103.8 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +328.4% in 2023.
Among the 31 countries in this dataset, Syria ranks 12 for 2024, behind U.S. (2,000 Thousand Tonnes) and Australia (370 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 1.5% 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.

Output then rose sharply to 98.446 thousand tonnes in 2018, decreased to 80.258 thousand tonnes in 2019, and reached a peak of 123.017 thousand tonnes in 2020. Production fell again to 87.768 thousand tonnes in 2021 and dropped substantially to 31.617 thousand tonnes in 2022. A strong recovery occurred in 2023, when output increased to 135.433 thousand tonnes, followed by another decline to 60.83 thousand tonnes in 2024. These large year-to-year variations indicate the sensitivity of almond production to rainfall distribution, irrigation availability, pest incidence, and broader agricultural conditions. Almond cultivation remains an important fruit crop in several regions of Syria, benefiting from Mediterranean climatic conditions where cultivation is possible. However, prolonged economic disruptions, infrastructure constraints, and changing weather patterns have affected orchard productivity and harvested areas over time. Favorable seasons have resulted in exceptionally high production, while adverse climatic conditions have contributed to substantial declines. Despite these fluctuations, Syria continues to maintain a significant almond-growing sector supported by domestic consumption and traditional cultivation practices. The decade-long data highlights both the production potential of the country and the challenges associated with maintaining consistent output. Future improvements in irrigation infrastructure, orchard rehabilitation, and climate-resilient agricultural practices could help stabilize production and reduce annual variability while supporting long-term growth in the almond sector.
