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.
According to validated Our World in Data (FAOSTAT) data, Belarus’s mushroom production per capita increased significantly from 797.70 grams in 2015 to 3,241.14 grams in 2024, demonstrating substantial growth in per capita output over the decade. The upward trend indicates strengthening production capabilities and greater integration of mushroom cultivation within Belarus’s agricultural sector.
Between 2015 and 2018, production experienced rapid growth, increasing from 797.70 grams in 2015 to 1,066.95 grams in 2016, 1,229.81 grams in 2017, and 1,885.65 grams in 2018. This expansion was supported by the development of commercial mushroom farms, improved cultivation technologies, and rising consumer demand for mushrooms as a nutritious food source. Investments in controlled-environment production systems helped producers improve efficiency and maintain consistent supply.
From 2019 to 2021, Belarus continued to record strong growth in mushroom production per capita, increasing from 2,713.92 grams in 2019 to 3,393.35 grams in 2020 before slightly declining to 3,268.60 grams in 2021. The sector demonstrated resilience during this period by adapting to changing market conditions, supply chain challenges, and shifts in consumer demand. Producers focused on improving productivity and maintaining stable production levels through modern farming practices.
Between 2022 and 2024, production showed some fluctuations but remained at elevated levels, reaching 2,622.41 grams in 2022, 3,173.98 grams in 2023, and 3,241.14 grams in 2024. The recovery indicates continued industry development and improved production management.
Overall, Belarus’s mushroom production sector shows significant expansion and increasing importance within its agricultural landscape. The mushroom production per capita indicator provides valuable insights into production growth, agricultural efficiency, market development, and the future potential of mushroom cultivation in Belarus.
