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 performance, and the contribution of linseed-based products within Egypt’s food and agricultural sector.
During the period from 2015 to 2023, Egypt’s linseed oil production per capita showed variations influenced by factors such as flaxseed cultivation practices, agricultural land availability, climatic conditions, crop productivity, processing capabilities, and market demand. Annual fluctuations in production reflect changes in domestic output and the influence of weather conditions, farming methods, and processing efficiency on the availability of linseed oil across the country.
This dataset supports analysis of Egypt’s oilseed production landscape, 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, historical developments, and long-term changes in the linseed oil sector.
The Egypt linseed oil production per capita indicator helps assess annual production changes, agricultural efficiency, and long-term output trends. By examining data from 2015 to 2023, stakeholders can gain insights into fluctuations in production levels, understand factors influencing linseed oil output, and evaluate the development of Egypt’s oilseed production ecosystem.
This macro indicator serves as a reference for studying Egypt’s linseed oil production trends, per capita output changes, and agricultural sector performance. It supports data-driven research related to food industry planning, supply chain analysis, sustainable agriculture, and comparisons with other African and global linseed oil-producing countries. The data also highlights production capacity, resource utilization, and evolving market dynamics, helping stakeholders identify opportunities to improve cultivation practices, strengthen processing efficiency, enhance agricultural productivity, and support the long-term development of Egypt’s linseed oil industry.
