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, China's grapes production per capita increased from 9.43 kilograms in 2015 to 11.85 kilograms in 2024, showing consistent growth throughout the decade. The upward trend highlights China's increasing production capacity and investment in modern agricultural practices.
Production declined slightly from 9.43 kilograms in 2015 to 8.99 kilograms in 2016 before recovering to 9.26 kilograms in 2017 and 9.63 kilograms in 2018. These improvements were supported by vineyard expansion, improved irrigation systems, adoption of advanced farming technologies, and stronger productivity in major grape-producing regions such as Xinjiang, Ningxia, and Shandong. China's favorable agricultural policies and investment in high-quality grape cultivation also contributed to production growth.
From 2019 onward, grapes production per capita showed steady improvement, increasing to 9.97 kilograms in 2019, 10.04 kilograms in 2020, and 10.51 kilograms in 2021. Continued growth reflected rising domestic consumption, improved vineyard management, and increased efficiency through mechanization and precision agriculture. Production further increased to 10.79 kilograms in 2022, 11.36 kilograms in 2023, and reached 11.85 kilograms in 2024, the highest level during the observed period.
Overall, China's grapes production trends demonstrate the expansion and modernization of its viticulture industry. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, agricultural development, production efficiency, and the impact of technological advancement on China's grape production sector. Continued investment in sustainable farming practices, resource management, and improved cultivation methods is expected to support the long-term growth and competitiveness of China's grape industry.
