Apricot Production By Country (2026)

Apricot production by country data from 2018-2024 FAO records paired with 2026 projections across 67 territories traces the world apricot production landscape. Türkiye dominates as the largest apricot producer, with Uzbekistan and Iran forming the next supply tier.

Geographic distribution is visible in the map above, with the complete production ranking shown in the table below.

Türkiye's 2024 Jump Resets the Apricot Market

Türkiye accounted for about 27.6% of listed 2024 apricot output, up from 750,000 tonnes in 2023 to 1,269,000 tonnes in 2024. The size of that move is why the 2026 forecast is lower than the latest reported figure, even though Türkiye remains far ahead. In 2024, Uzbekistan ranked second at 526,693 tonnes. Tajikistan rose to 313,052 tonnes in 2024, passing Iran at 304,118 tonnes and Italy at 240,080 tonnes.

Central Asia Carries More Than One Apricot Story

Uzbekistan stayed large across the full series, with production above 424,000 tonnes every year from 2018 to 2024. Its 2026 estimate rises to 581,460 tonnes because recent output remains well above the 2021 low. Tajikistan is the fastest major mover among large producers, increasing from 103,139 tonnes in 2021 to 313,052 tonnes in 2024. The forecast still pulls back to 268,296 tonnes because the method treats that three-year climb as high-volatility growth.

Stone-Fruit Volatility Shows Up Across Europe and North Africa

Apricot production can swing sharply when spring conditions hit flowering and fruit set. France shows that clearly: 54,590 tonnes in 2021, then 128,080 tonnes in 2022, 127,780 tonnes in 2023, and 82,760 tonnes in 2024. The same uneven pattern appears elsewhere. Spain recovered to 155,570 tonnes in 2024 after 80,870 tonnes in 2022, while Morocco fell from 101,612 tonnes in 2018 to 40,813 tonnes in 2024.

Palestine Has Historical Data but No 2024 Row

Palestine is kept in the historical table because the source includes recent apricot data through 2022. Its 2023 and 2024 cells are blank, so it is not part of the 2024 ranking or the latest-year share calculation. That missing latest-year coverage does not affect the top of the table. Palestine's last reported value was 1,043 tonnes in 2022, far below the main producing countries.

2026 Estimates Separate Strong Bases From One-Year Spikes

The 2026 estimates keep Türkiye first at 1,082,224 tonnes and Uzbekistan second at 581,460 tonnes. In the 2026 forecast, Iran is estimated at 344,054 tonnes, ahead of Tajikistan at 268,296 tonnes and Italy at 256,420 tonnes. The model is deliberately cautious where 2024 looks unusually strong. Türkiye and Tajikistan both stay high in the forecast, but neither is projected by simply extending the latest reported year.
