Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
The data includes the annual production of mushrooms reported under FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics, covering cultivated mushroom output measured by weight. The indicator includes country-level mushroom production values adjusted according to population size to calculate per capita production. The dataset captures changes in agricultural production capacity, cultivation practices, and output trends over time. It supports analysis of mushroom industry development, agricultural productivity, food supply trends, and comparisons between different countries and regions.
The data excludes mushroom consumption, imports, exports, and trade-related activities, as it measures only domestic production. It does not represent individual consumption levels, market availability, retail sales, or nutritional intake. The indicator does not include wild mushroom collection unless recorded within official agricultural production statistics. It also does not measure production value, revenue, cultivation costs, or farm-level productivity. Differences may occur due to variations in national reporting methods, estimation procedures, and statistical coverage 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, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
The series high was 0.216 Kilogram in 2017 and the low 0 Kilogram in 2018. The gap between the series high (2017) and low (2018) is 0.216 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was −100% in 2018. Among the 32 countries in this dataset, Austria ranks 32 for 2024, behind China (34.25 Kilogram) and Ireland (13.35 Kilogram). The global figure for 2024 is 6.32 Kilogram, so Austria is below it.
Between 2015 and 2017, production showed strong improvement, rising from 138.82 grams in 2015 to 160.22 grams in 2016 and reaching 215.94 grams in 2017. This growth was supported by increasing consumer interest in nutritious food products, improved cultivation techniques, and Austria’s focus on efficient and sustainable agricultural practices. Controlled-environment farming systems helped producers maintain consistent output while optimising resource utilisation.
From 2018 onward, Austria recorded no reported production values in the dataset, indicating a lack of available reported per capita production data for the remaining years. This may reflect changes in reporting availability, production measurement practices, or variations in recorded agricultural statistics rather than a confirmed absence of mushroom cultivation activity.
Overall, Austria’s mushroom production sector demonstrates potential growth during the available reporting period, supported by modern farming methods and increasing demand for specialty food products. The mushroom production per capita indicator provides valuable insights into agricultural productivity, production trends, market development, and the role of mushroom cultivation within Austria’s sustainable food system.
