Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Linseed Oil Production per Capita — Linseed Oil Production per Capita refers to the annual quantity of linseed oil produced in a country divided by its total population, expressed in grams per person. In the Our World in Data database, this indicator is derived from food production statistics and presents the amount of linseed oil produced on a per capita basis for each country over the selected time period, enabling comparisons of production intensity across countries and years.
The data includes domestic production of linseed oil intended for food use, calculated on a per capita basis using national production volumes and population estimates. It covers annual country-level production data reported in the Our World in Data food dataset (primarily sourced from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization - FAO) and includes historical values for the selected years, allowing analysis of production trends and cross-country comparisons.
The data excludes imports, exports, domestic consumption, stocks, industrial or non-food uses, trade flows, prices, production value, and processing activities. It does not measure total flaxseed production, cultivation area, crop yield, or the economic value of linseed oil production. The indicator reflects only annual domestic linseed oil production per capita and may be subject to revisions based on updates to the underlying FAO and population datasets.
About this indicator
Linseed Oil Production per Capita — Linseed Oil Production per Capita refers to the annual quantity of linseed oil produced in a country divided by its total population, expressed in grams per person. In the Our World in Data database, this indicator is derived from food production statistics and presents the amount of linseed oil produced on a per capita basis for each country over the selected time period, enabling comparisons of production intensity across countries and years.
This indicator measures annual linseed oil production per person, helping evaluate production intensity, agricultural efficiency, and the contribution of linseed-based products within Brazil’s food and agricultural sector.
During the period from 2015 to 2023, Brazil’s linseed oil production per capita showed variations influenced by factors such as flaxseed cultivation levels, agricultural conditions, crop yields, farming practices, processing capabilities, and market demand. The fluctuations in yearly production values reflect changes in domestic output and provide insights into the availability and development of linseed oil production within Brazil’s agricultural landscape.
This dataset supports analysis of Brazil’s oilseed production sector, vegetable oil supply trends, and the role of linseed oil within the broader food and beverage industry. It provides valuable information for researchers, businesses, policymakers, and agricultural stakeholders studying production performance, resource utilization, and historical developments in the linseed oil market.
The Brazil linseed oil production per capita indicator helps assess annual production changes, agricultural productivity, and long-term output trends. By examining data from 2015 to 2023, stakeholders can gain insights into fluctuations in production levels, understand the influence of agricultural factors, and evaluate the evolving role of linseed oil within Brazil’s agricultural economy.
This macro indicator serves as a reference for studying Brazil’s linseed oil production trends, per capita output changes, and oilseed sector performance. It supports data-driven research related to agricultural planning, food industry analysis, supply chain evaluation, sustainability practices, and comparisons with other global linseed oil-producing countries.
The data also provides insights into Brazil’s position within the South American linseed oil landscape by highlighting production variations, agricultural resource utilization, and market developments. It helps identify opportunities for improving production efficiency, supporting sustainable farming practices, and understanding future growth prospects in the linseed oil industry.
