Data definition
Cashew Nut Production — – Cashew Nut Production refers to the total quantity of cashew nuts harvested and produced within a country during a specified period, measured in tonnes. The indicator reflects the scale of cashew cultivation and agricultural output and is used to assess crop productivity, farming capacity, and the contribution of cashew production to the agricultural sector. The data presented by Our World in Data is based on statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The data includes the annual production of cashew nuts harvested from cashew trees and recorded as agricultural output. It covers cashew nuts produced for food consumption, processing into cashew kernels, export markets, and other food-related applications. The figures represent harvested production quantities collected from official agricultural statistics and standardized by the FAO to enable international comparisons across countries and years.
The data excludes cashew kernel processing output, cashew nut exports and imports, cashew-based processed products such as roasted cashews, cashew butter, and confectionery products. It also excludes cashew cultivation area, yield per hectare, post-harvest losses, inventory changes, and informal or unrecorded production not captured in official agricultural statistics. Other tree nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and peanuts are not included in this indicator.

Measured in Thousand Tonnes, the dataset serves as an important benchmark for evaluating cashew farming productivity, crop output, agricultural efficiency, supply chain performance, and the overall development of Thailand’s cashew industry. Based on the validated data, Thailand maintained a stable and consistent cashew nut production trend throughout the study period, reflecting steady cultivation practices and a balanced agricultural production base. Production increased from 22.06 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 25.13 thousand tonnes in 2016, followed by further growth to 25.72 thousand tonnes in 2017, representing the highest production level during the early period. Output moderated to 24.23 thousand tonnes in 2018 before recovering to 25.03 thousand tonnes in 2019. Production remained relatively stable at 24.10 thousand tonnes in 2020, followed by gradual improvement to 24.45 thousand tonnes in 2021 and 24.53 thousand tonnes in 2022. Output recorded a slight decline to 24.36 thousand tonnes in 2023 and recovered marginally to 24.45 thousand tonnes in 2024. Overall, the dataset highlights Thailand’s stable cashew production capacity, with limited fluctuations and consistent output performance over the study period. The dataset provides valuable insights into production trends, agricultural productivity, and industry development. It supports year-over-year analysis, regional benchmarking, and forecasting of future production potential. Farmers, policymakers, exporters, investors, researchers, and agribusiness stakeholders can use the dataset to evaluate production performance, identify market opportunities, improve cultivation practices, strengthen supply chain efficiency, enhance processing capabilities, and support sustainable growth across Thailand’s cashew nut value chain.
