Portuguese almond production is projected to reach record levels, with a forecasted 40% increase to approximately 115,000 tonnes with shells. Industry representatives noted that the current campaign features higher yields and improved quality compared to previous years, aided by rising prices.

In contrast, other sectors show more varied results. Pear production is expected to increase by 15% in 2026, reaching an estimated 143,000 tonnes. While productivity in the Oeste region has risen, total output remains slightly below the five-year average due to sanitary pruning and extreme summer temperatures affecting fruit size and preservation.
