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 insights into Chile’s oat production efficiency relative to population size and helps evaluate agricultural productivity, crop yield performance, and long-term cereal production patterns.
During the early period, production increased from 23.33 kilograms in 2015 to 29.18 kilograms in 2016 and reached 38.42 kilograms in 2017, the highest level recorded during the decade. However, production declined to 30.25 kilograms in 2018 and further to 20.05 kilograms in 2019 due to variations in weather conditions, harvested area, and crop productivity.
Between 2020 and 2022, Chile experienced a recovery in oats production per capita. Production increased to 24.65 kilograms in 2020, 27.00 kilograms in 2021, and 29.58 kilograms in 2022, reflecting improved agricultural conditions and stronger crop performance. These changes highlight the impact of seasonal factors, farming practices, and production efficiency on oat output.
In recent years, production declined to 16.94 kilograms in 2023, the lowest level during the observed period, before recovering to 23.15 kilograms in 2024. The latest improvement indicates a return toward more stable production levels.
Overall, the dataset highlights the variability and resilience of Chile’s oats production per capita between 2015 and 2024. 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.
