Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country or region, adjusted according to the population size and measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita or kilograms per capita and represents the average mushroom production available relative to the population. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and regions during the selected period.
The data includes the annual production volume of mushrooms reported through FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics, covering cultivated mushroom output measured by weight. The indicator includes country and regional production values converted into per capita measurements using population data. It captures changes in mushroom cultivation, agricultural productivity, production capacity, and output trends over time. The dataset supports analysis of mushroom industry development, agricultural diversification, food supply trends, and comparisons of production performance across different geographic areas.
The data excludes mushroom consumption, imports, exports, trade values, and market sales, as it measures only domestic production levels. It does not represent actual consumer intake, availability in retail markets, or nutritional consumption patterns. The indicator does not include economic factors such as production costs, revenue, farm profitability, or market prices. Wild mushroom collection is excluded unless recorded within official agricultural production statistics. Differences may occur due to variations in national reporting methods, estimation techniques, data coverage, and statistical procedures used by FAOSTAT.
About this indicator
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country or region, adjusted according to the population size and measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita or kilograms per capita and represents the average mushroom production available relative to the population. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and regions during the selected period.
According to validated Our World in Data (FAOSTAT) data, Asia’s mushroom production per capita increased significantly from 9,479.39 grams in 2015 to 12,536.09 grams in 2024. The upward trend demonstrates the region’s dominant position in global mushroom production, supported by large-scale cultivation, advanced farming practices, and rising domestic demand.
Between 2015 and 2018, production showed steady growth, increasing from 9,479.39 grams in 2015 to 10,054.88 grams in 2018. This expansion was primarily supported by major mushroom-producing countries such as China and Japan, where established cultivation systems, technological innovation, and strong consumer demand contributed to higher output levels. Increasing adoption of controlled-environment farming and efficient production techniques helped strengthen regional production capacity.
From 2019 to 2021, Asia continued its growth trajectory, with production rising from 10,275.46 grams in 2019 to 10,490.48 grams in 2020 and 10,736.95 grams in 2021. The sector demonstrated resilience despite global market disruptions, supported by continued demand for mushrooms as a nutritious food source and improvements in cultivation efficiency. Countries including India, Vietnam, and Indonesia also contributed through expanding mushroom farming activities.
Between 2022 and 2024, production increased further, reaching 11,711.58 grams in 2022, 12,127.03 grams in 2023, and 12,536.09 grams in 2024. The continued rise reflects improved agricultural practices, increasing investment in mushroom cultivation, and growing consumer acceptance across Asian markets.
Overall, Asia’s mushroom production sector represents one of the most developed and rapidly expanding agricultural segments globally. The mushroom production per capita indicator provides valuable insights into regional productivity, production growth, agricultural diversification, food supply trends, and future opportunities for sustainable mushroom cultivation across Asia.
