Almonds, Shelled Consumption by Country
The United States had the largest food supply of shelled almonds in 2023, at 504,997 tonnes, or 32.5 percent of the 1,553,585-tonne total and 5.20 times the next country. Morocco came second and Spain third. Morocco, though, led per person, while the United States sat on 4.03 grams a day.
Almonds at a Glance
The United States had the largest shelled almond food supply in 2023 at 504,997 tonnes, equal to 32.5 percent of the 1,553,585-tonne total. Morocco ranked first per person at 7.05 grams a day. These figures represent food available for human consumption rather than the amount actually eaten.
China placed fourth at 79,655 tonnes and Germany fifth at 77,713, with Italy sixth (77,434), India seventh (68,012), Algeria eighth (43,519), France ninth (40,490) and Tunisia tenth (30,369). The top three reached 44.0 percent of supply. The volume top ten and the per-person top ten overlap only at Morocco, Spain, the United States, Italy and Tunisia. Among the 167 countries with values in both 2022 and 2023, supply dipped 1.5 percent, from 1,576,696 tonnes to 1,553,568, a loss of 23,128 tonnes. Australia's 50,915-tonne fall and China's 47,540 exceeded the net decline, so gains elsewhere offset them; Syria added 22,899 tonnes, the United States 18,496 and Vietnam 12,294. Spain added 9,980 tonnes and Libya 8,344. Of the 164 countries reporting in both 2019 and 2023, the total rose 3.8 percent, from 1,497,002 tonnes to 1,553,568, a gain of 56,565 tonnes. The United States shed 91,212 tonnes, which offset 161.3 percent of that net rise, while Morocco contributed 80.7 percent and India 49.6 percent. Morocco added 45,673 tonnes and Vietnam 22,892. Five countries entered and three left; the newcomers carried 17.63 tonnes in 2023 against 43.23 tonnes for the leavers. Morocco topped the per-person column at 7.05 grams a day, ahead of Tunisia at 6.82 and Libya at 5.81. Spain (4.64) and the United States (4.03) followed. Libya stands out as the only country in the per-person top three whose volume sits outside the top ten, at 15,498 tonnes. Shelled almonds form a single FAO item, counted apart from almonds in shell and from other tree nuts. Each value is a reference-year food supply figure rather than a harvest or a sale, and the grams-per-person column restates that same supply across each country's residents. Australia's fall from 73,206 tonnes in 2022 to 22,291 in 2023 was the steepest in the table. Syria swung the other way, from 6,596 tonnes in 2022 to 29,495. The United States showed the widest gap between the two measures, first by volume at 504,997 tonnes but only fifth per person, because its supply spreads across a large population. Tonnes are FAO's food supply quantity for shelled almonds, from element 5141, and the grams-per-person-per-day column is element 665; both cover 2019 to 2023. A change divides by the earlier year, and a zero base leaves no percentage. Only countries with a value in both years enter a comparison. A reported zero and a blank cell differ and are never treated as equals. The figures record food available for human consumption, not what people actually eat. The table holds 172 countries, with World, regions and the China aggregate removed and China kept as one row; 169 carry a 2023 value.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Which country has the largest shelled almond supply?
The United States, at 32.5 percent of the total, ahead of Morocco at 97,084 tonnes and Spain at 81,119 tonnes. Morocco took the top per-person spot instead, on a much smaller volume.
How much shelled almond supply was available in 2023?
The 169 countries reporting a 2023 value held 1,553,585 tonnes, down 1.5 percent from 1,576,696 tonnes in 2022, a fall of 23,128 tonnes.
How much did Australia's almond supply change in 2023?
Australia fell from 73,206 tonnes in 2022 to 22,291 in 2023, a loss of 50,915 tonnes or 69.6 percent, the steepest single-year drop in the table.
Is this what people actually eat?
No. The figures measure food available for human consumption, not what people actually eat, so the rankings reflect food supply rather than the amount consumed in a diet.
Why does the United States lead by volume but not per person?
Its tonnage works out to 4.03 grams per person per day, behind Morocco's 7.05, because the US supply spreads across a far larger population.
