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. The indicator represents the average amount of oats produced for each individual based on total agricultural production and population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, with values reported annually for the selected period. The data provides insights into oat production performance, agricultural productivity, and changes in production capacity relative to population growth.
The data includes the total agricultural production of oats, covering oat crops harvested for food, feed, and other agricultural uses as reported in global food and agriculture datasets. The indicator incorporates annual oat production volumes and population estimates to calculate per capita production values. Our World in Data compiles the data from internationally recognised agricultural statistics sources, including the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and provides comparable country-level figures across different regions and time periods.
The data excludes oat consumption, imports, exports, processing activities, and market demand. It does not measure individual dietary intake, availability of oats for consumers, or actual domestic supply after trade adjustments. The indicator also does not represent productivity per hectare, farm-level efficiency, or quality differences in oat production. Variations may occur due to differences in agricultural reporting methods, estimation procedures, and population data sources used for calculating per capita 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. The indicator represents the average amount of oats produced for each individual based on total agricultural production and population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, with values reported annually for the selected period. The data provides insights into oat production performance, agricultural productivity, and changes in production capacity relative to population growth.
The indicator provides insight into Brazil’s oat production efficiency relative to population size and helps evaluate changes in agricultural productivity, crop output, and long-term cereal production development.
During the early period, production per capita increased from 2.50 kilograms in 2015 to 4.30 kilograms in 2016, showing strong improvement in production performance. However, production declined to 3.06 kilograms in 2017 before rising again to 4.36 kilograms in 2018 and 4.48 kilograms in 2019. These variations reflect the influence of annual weather conditions, harvested area changes, crop yields, and farming practices on oat production levels.
Production remained relatively stable in 2020, reaching 4.31 kilograms per capita, before increasing to 5.21 kilograms in 2021. Growth continued in 2022, when production reached 6.16 kilograms per capita, the highest value recorded during the period. This improvement indicates stronger agricultural performance, supported by favourable production conditions, improved cultivation techniques, and increased efficiency in oat farming.
In recent years, production declined to 4.30 kilograms in 2023 before recovering to 5.15 kilograms in 2024. The latest recovery highlights Brazil’s continued ability to maintain strong oat production levels despite annual fluctuations in agricultural conditions.
Overall, the dataset highlights Brazil’s positive oats production per capita trend between 2015 and 2024, demonstrating growth with periodic variations. It provides valuable insights for analysing agricultural trends, benchmarking production performance, evaluating productivity changes, forecasting future oat production, and supporting agricultural policy, food security assessments, and market research related to cereal crop production.
