Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Olive Oil Production per Capita — Olive Oil Production per Capita refers to the annual quantity of olive oil produced in a country relative to its population size, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level production measure with values available across selected years. The indicator allows comparison of olive oil production performance between countries by adjusting total production according to population size.
The data includes annual olive oil production volumes from cultivated olive crops used for olive oil extraction, converted into a per capita measurement using national population data. It covers olive oil output from agricultural production activities and reflects changes influenced by olive cultivation areas, harvest cycles, climatic conditions, farming practices, and production efficiency. The indicator includes country-level production estimates reported for the selected period and supports analysis of trends in the global olive oil sector.
The data excludes olive oil consumption, imports, exports, retail sales, market prices, and individual household usage. It does not measure the amount of olive oil available or consumed per person, as produced olive oil may be exported, stored, processed, or distributed through different supply chains. The indicator also excludes production of other edible oils such as sunflower oil, soybean oil, palm oil, and other vegetable oils. Differences may occur due to variations in agricultural data collection methods, production estimates, and population calculations used for per capita conversion.
About this indicator
Olive Oil Production per Capita — Olive Oil Production per Capita refers to the annual quantity of olive oil produced in a country relative to its population size, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level production measure with values available across selected years. The indicator allows comparison of olive oil production performance between countries by adjusting total production according to population size.
Production slightly declined to 3.80 kilograms in 2017 before rising again to 4.32 kilograms in 2018. The value remained relatively stable at 3.99 kilograms in 2019 but increased to 4.53 kilograms in 2020. Growth continued in 2021, reaching 5.79 kilograms per capita, followed by a significant increase to 10.26 kilograms in 2022. In 2023, production remained high at 10.14 kilograms per capita, showing a substantial improvement compared with the beginning of the period.
The overall trend indicates that Albania experienced considerable growth in olive oil production per capita, particularly after 2020. The sharp increase between 2021 and 2022 highlights improvements in production output and reflects the expansion of olive-growing activities. Although a slight decline occurred in 2023 compared with 2022, production remained at one of the highest levels recorded during the period. These changes may be influenced by olive harvest cycles, weather conditions, farming practices, and investment in agricultural development.
Olive oil production per capita measures the amount of olive oil produced relative to the population size and provides a population-adjusted assessment of production performance. This indicator does not represent consumption because produced olive oil may be exported, stored, processed, or supplied to domestic and international markets. It is useful for evaluating agricultural productivity, identifying production trends, and understanding developments in the olive oil industry.
Albania has a long tradition of olive cultivation, and the growth in production per capita highlights the increasing importance of olive oil within its agricultural sector. The 2015–2023 data shows a positive production trajectory, demonstrating improvements in output capacity and strengthening Albania’s role in regional olive oil production.
