Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
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.
About this indicator
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.
A temporary decline to 170 thousand tonnes in 2023 was followed by a recovery to the highest level in the series in 2024. The overall trend reflects continued investment in almond cultivation, expansion of orchard areas, and gradual improvements in farming practices. Turkey benefits from favorable Mediterranean and continental climatic conditions suitable for almond production, particularly in western and southeastern regions. Increased adoption of improved cultivars, irrigation systems, and orchard management techniques has supported higher productivity over time. Although annual production can fluctuate because of weather conditions such as spring frost, drought, and rainfall variability, the long-term trajectory remained positive throughout the decade. Rising domestic demand from the food processing, confectionery, bakery, and snack industries has also encouraged growers to expand production. Export opportunities and government initiatives promoting high-value horticultural crops have further supported sector growth. Despite the decline observed in 2023, the subsequent rebound demonstrates the resilience of Turkey's almond industry and its capacity to recover from short-term climatic or market-related challenges. Overall, the data indicates that Turkey strengthened its position as one of the leading almond-producing countries during the period, with production increasing by approximately 150% between 2015 and 2024. Continued modernization, efficient water management, and adoption of advanced agricultural technologies are expected to support future production stability and long-term growth.
