Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Oats Production per Capita — Oats Production per Capita refers to the annual production of oats divided by the total population of a country, measured in kilograms or grams per person per year. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-by-country time series, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The indicator measures the average amount of oats produced relative to population size and is used to analyse agricultural production capacity, cereal crop performance, and changes in production efficiency over time.
The data includes total oat production volumes from agricultural activities, covering oats cultivated and harvested for food, feed, and other agricultural uses. The calculation combines annual oat production data with population estimates to generate per capita production values. Our World in Data compiles the data from internationally recognised agricultural statistics sources, including Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) datasets, providing comparable production estimates across countries and regions. The indicator includes historical annual production trends and allows comparison of oat production performance between different geographical areas.
The data excludes oat consumption, imports, exports, processing activities, and domestic availability after trade adjustments. It does not represent actual oat intake by individuals or measure market demand, food supply, or nutritional consumption patterns. The indicator also does not capture farm-level productivity, yield per hectare, production costs, or quality differences in harvested oats. Differences may occur due to variations in agricultural reporting methods, estimation procedures, data revisions, and population estimates used for calculating per capita production values."
About this indicator
Oats Production per Capita — Oats Production per Capita refers to the annual production of oats divided by the total population of a country, measured in kilograms or grams per person per year. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-by-country time series, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The indicator measures the average amount of oats produced relative to population size and is used to analyse agricultural production capacity, cereal crop performance, and changes in production efficiency over time.
The indicator provides insights into regional oat production efficiency, agricultural productivity, and cereal crop output relative to population size.
During the early period, Asia’s oats production per capita increased from 586.75 grams in 2015 to 647.75 grams in 2016 before declining slightly to 624.03 grams in 2017. Production improved to 646.80 grams in 2018 before decreasing to 617.73 grams in 2019. These fluctuations reflect changes in crop yields, cultivated area, weather conditions, and production performance across major oat-producing countries, including Kazakhstan, Turkey, China, and Israel.
Between 2020 and 2022, regional oats production per capita showed moderate variations. Production increased to 625.00 grams in 2020 and declined slightly to 608.21 grams in 2021 before recovering to 651.85 grams in 2022. The recovery indicates improved agricultural conditions and stronger production performance in several Asian countries. These changes highlight the influence of seasonal factors, farming practices, and production efficiency on oat output.
In recent years, production declined slightly to 628.02 grams in 2023 before increasing significantly to 743.06 grams in 2024, representing the highest level recorded during the period. The improvement reflects stronger regional production capacity and favourable agricultural conditions.
Overall, the dataset highlights the resilience and gradual growth of Asia’s oats production per capita between 2015 and 2024. It provides valuable insights for analysing agricultural trends, comparing regional performance, evaluating productivity changes, forecasting future oat production, and supporting food security assessments and agricultural planning.
