Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Grapes Production per Capita — Grapes production per capita refers to the annual production of grapes allocated on a per-person basis, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of grapes produced within a country relative to its population size during a given year. In Our World in Data, the metric is presented as country-level production data over time, allowing comparison of grape production intensity across countries and years. The data is derived from global food and agriculture statistics compiled from sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The data includes the total production of grapes from agricultural activities within each country, converted into a per capita measure using the corresponding population estimates. It covers grapes produced for all major uses, including fresh consumption, processing into wine, juice, raisins, and other grape-based products, as classified under agricultural production statistics. The indicator includes annual production values reported for each country and year, adjusted by population to enable cross-country comparison.
The data excludes grape imports, exports, domestic consumption levels, and trade-related activities. It does not represent the amount of grapes available for consumers, as production may be used for processing, storage, animal feed, losses, or industrial purposes. The indicator also excludes production of other fruits and crops outside grapes and does not measure yield efficiency, cultivated area, farmer income, or market value. Differences may occur due to estimation methods, reporting gaps, or revisions in agricultural and population statistics.
About this indicator
Grapes Production per Capita — Grapes production per capita refers to the annual production of grapes allocated on a per-person basis, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of grapes produced within a country relative to its population size during a given year. In Our World in Data, the metric is presented as country-level production data over time, allowing comparison of grape production intensity across countries and years. The data is derived from global food and agriculture statistics compiled from sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Based on validated Our World in Data statistics, Australia's grapes production per capita declined from 72.19 kilograms in 2015 to 60.41 kilograms in 2024, while experiencing significant fluctuations during the decade. Despite the decline, Australia remains one of the world's leading grape-producing countries, supported by advanced farming systems, large-scale vineyards, and efficient production practices.
Production increased slightly from 72.19 kilograms in 2015 to 72.87 kilograms in 2016 and reached 73.77 kilograms in 2017, supported by favorable growing conditions, strong vineyard productivity, and established agricultural infrastructure. Australia's major grape-growing regions, including South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales, contributed significantly through advanced irrigation systems, mechanized farming, and sustainable vineyard management practices.
Production declined to 66.23 kilograms in 2018 and further to 60.97 kilograms in 2019, reflecting changing climate conditions, water availability challenges, and variations in harvest performance. The downward trend continued in 2020, when production decreased to 57.29 kilograms, influenced by drought conditions, environmental pressures, and operational challenges affecting vineyards.
A significant recovery occurred in 2021, with grapes production per capita increasing to 85.79 kilograms, representing the highest level during the observed period. This improvement was supported by stronger harvest outcomes, improved vineyard efficiency, and favorable production conditions. However, production declined again to 73.67 kilograms in 2022, 58.60 kilograms in 2023, and 60.41 kilograms in 2024, reflecting continued climate variability and market-related adjustments.
Overall, Australia's grapes production trends demonstrate the resilience and adaptability of its advanced viticulture sector. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, sustainable agriculture, climate impact management, export competitiveness, and the long-term development of Australia's grape production industry.
