Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Millet Production per Capita — Millet production per capita refers to the annual production quantity of millet divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, this indicator presents country-level and regional millet production trends over time, with values reported for each year within the selected period. It is used to analyse millet output intensity, agricultural productivity, and differences in production levels across countries and regions.
The data includes annual millet production volumes adjusted by population size to calculate per capita production values. It covers millet output from agricultural activities, including production quantities reported for individual countries and regions. Our World in Data compiles the data from Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) agricultural statistics, providing historical time-series information for millet production performance. The indicator includes comparative measurements across countries, regions, and years to evaluate changes in millet cultivation and production capacity.
The data excludes millet consumption, imports, exports, trade values, market prices, food availability, and nutritional intake. It does not measure total agricultural productivity, harvested area, yield per hectare, or farming income. The indicator also does not capture post-harvest losses, processing activities, or domestic utilization of millet. Differences may occur due to revisions in agricultural production estimates, population data updates, reporting methodologies, and variations in data collection practices among countries.
About this indicator
Millet Production per Capita — Millet production per capita refers to the annual production quantity of millet divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, this indicator presents country-level and regional millet production trends over time, with values reported for each year within the selected period. It is used to analyse millet output intensity, agricultural productivity, and differences in production levels across countries and regions.
According to Our World in Data, regional millet production per capita increased from 2,086.69 grams in 2015 to 2,353.53 grams in 2024, indicating overall growth despite significant annual fluctuations.
During the initial years, millet production per capita increased from 2,086.69 grams in 2015 to 2,212.50 grams in 2016 before declining sharply to 1,192.20 grams in 2017. Production recovered moderately in 2018, reaching 1,437.05 grams per capita, followed by strong growth in 2019, when output increased to 2,841.35 grams. This improvement reflected higher millet production levels and favourable agricultural conditions in key producing countries.
In 2020, Europe recorded further growth, with millet production per capita reaching 3,029.08 grams, the highest level observed during the decade. However, production declined in 2021 to 2,679.49 grams and continued decreasing to 1,922.37 grams in 2022, indicating changes in cultivation patterns and regional production dynamics.
A strong recovery occurred in 2023, when millet production per capita increased to 3,108.99 grams, representing the peak value during the analysed period. In 2024, production moderated to 2,353.53 grams per capita, while remaining above the 2015 level.
Overall, Europe’s millet production per capita increased by approximately 13% between 2015 and 2024, demonstrating long-term growth with considerable year-to-year variation. The indicator highlights the influence of agricultural conditions, crop management practices, and production trends across European millet-producing countries. The data provides valuable insights into regional agricultural performance and changes in millet cultivation intensity over time.
