Falling to a series low
Canada Grapes Production per Capita moved from 2.24 Kilogram in 2015 to 2.00 Kilogram in 2024 (−10.9%), an average of −1.3% a year. The series high was 3.56 Kilogram in 2017 and the low 2.00 Kilogram in 2024.
What Canada Grapes Production per Capita shows
Canada Grapes Production per Capita was 2.00 Kilogram in 2024, down 21.2% on 2023. Canada's grapes production per capita between 2015 and 2024 reflects a developing but weather-sensitive viticulture sector influenced by climatic conditions, vineyard management practices, production efficiency, and changing agricultural patterns.
A 43.9% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2017) and low (2024) is 1.56 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +29.9% in 2016.
Ranks 31 of 40 countries covered
Among the 40 countries in this dataset, Canada ranks 31 for 2024, behind Moldova (130.6 Kilogram) and Italy (128.7 Kilogram). The global figure for 2024 is 9.30 Kilogram, so Canada is below it.

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).
According to validated Our World in Data statistics, grapes production per capita in Canada fluctuated during the period, declining slightly from 2.24 kilograms in 2015 to 2.00 kilograms in 2024. Despite this overall decrease, Canada's grape industry demonstrated resilience through periods of growth supported by technological advancements, improved cultivation methods, and investments in vineyard productivity.
Production increased significantly from 2.24 kilograms in 2015 to 2.91 kilograms in 2016, reaching 3.56 kilograms in 2017, the highest level recorded during the period. This improvement was supported by favorable growing conditions, stronger harvest performance, and expansion of grape cultivation in major producing regions such as Ontario and British Columbia. Adoption of modern irrigation systems, improved grape varieties, and better vineyard management practices helped enhance production efficiency. However, output declined to 2.91 kilograms in 2018 before recovering to 3.22 kilograms in 2019, reflecting annual variations in weather patterns and vineyard yields.
From 2020 onward, production showed a gradual moderation, falling to 2.74 kilograms in 2020, 2.71 kilograms in 2021, and 2.32 kilograms in 2022. These declines were influenced by frost events, changing temperature patterns, labor challenges, and regional production adjustments. Production recovered slightly to 2.54 kilograms in 2023 before declining to 2.00 kilograms in 2024 due to continued climate variability and lower harvest performance.
Overall, Canada's grapes production trends highlight a stable but climate-dependent industry. The data is valuable for assessing vineyard productivity, forecasting future grape supply, and understanding the impact of sustainability initiatives, technology adoption, and environmental challenges on Canada's viticulture sector.
