Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Millet Production per Capita — Millet production per capita refers to the annual production quantity of millet divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, the indicator presents country-level millet production trends over time, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The dataset provides a comparative view of millet output relative to population size, helping analyse agricultural productivity, production intensity, and changes in millet cultivation across countries.
The data includes annual millet production volumes converted into per capita values based on national population estimates. It covers millet output from agricultural production systems, including different millet varieties classified within global food production statistics. Our World in Data compiles the indicator using data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), providing historical time-series information for countries and regions. The indicator includes country-level production measurements and allows comparisons of millet production performance across different geographic areas and time periods.
The data excludes millet consumption, imports, exports, stock levels, prices, and trade-related activities. It does not measure nutritional intake, food availability, processing losses, or domestic usage patterns. The indicator also does not represent total agricultural productivity or overall cereal production performance, as it focuses only on millet production per person. Differences may occur due to revisions in agricultural statistics, population estimates, reporting methodologies, and variations in data collection practices between countries.
About this indicator
Millet Production per Capita — Millet production per capita refers to the annual production quantity of millet divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, the indicator presents country-level millet production trends over time, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The dataset provides a comparative view of millet output relative to population size, helping analyse agricultural productivity, production intensity, and changes in millet cultivation across countries.
During the early period, production increased significantly to 156.42 grams in 2016 before declining to 120.30 grams in 2017. A further reduction occurred in 2018, when production reached 50.48 grams, representing the lowest level during the first four years of the analysed period. These fluctuations highlight the sensitivity of millet production to changing agricultural conditions.
Production recovered in 2019, reaching 92.05 grams, and continued strengthening in 2020 with 120.40 grams per capita. A significant improvement occurred in 2021, when production increased to 209.83 grams, followed by a similar level of 208.77 grams in 2022. This period represented the strongest production phase, supported by improved agricultural performance, favourable production conditions, and increased millet output. The stability during these years indicates stronger cultivation activity compared with the earlier declining period.
In recent years, millet production remained relatively high, reaching 214.02 grams in 2023, the highest level recorded during the analysed period. However, production moderated to 145.09 grams in 2024, indicating a decline from the previous peak while remaining above several early-year levels. The recent movement reflects normal variations in agricultural production cycles and changing crop conditions.
Overall, the dataset highlights the variable yet resilient nature of Argentina’s millet production per capita between 2015 and 2024. It is valuable for analysing long-term agricultural trends, benchmarking production performance, forecasting future millet output, and evaluating the influence of climatic conditions, farming practices, cultivated area changes, and crop management strategies on millet production in Argentina.
