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 efficiency, and the role of linseed-based products within Finland’s food and agricultural sector.
Between 2015 and 2023, Finland’s linseed oil production per capita showed variations influenced by factors such as flax cultivation levels, climatic conditions, crop yields, farming practices, processing capabilities, and market demand. The fluctuations in yearly production values reflect changes in agricultural conditions and the availability of linseed oil within the domestic production landscape.
This dataset supports the analysis of Finland’s oilseed production activities, vegetable oil supply trends, and the contribution of linseed oil to the broader food and beverage industry. It provides valuable information for researchers, businesses, policymakers, and agricultural stakeholders studying production performance, resource management, and historical developments in the linseed oil sector.
The Finland linseed oil production per capita indicator helps evaluate annual output variations, production efficiency, and long-term trends in the oilseed industry. By examining data from 2015 to 2023, stakeholders can understand changes in production capacity, agricultural influences, and factors affecting linseed oil output within Finland.
This macro indicator serves as a reference for studying Finland’s linseed oil production trends, per capita output changes, and agricultural sector performance. It supports data-driven research related to food industry analysis, sustainable farming practices, supply chain evaluation, and comparisons with other European linseed oil-producing countries.
The data also highlights Finland’s position in the European linseed oil landscape by providing insights into production fluctuations, agricultural resource utilization, and market developments. It helps identify opportunities for improving production efficiency, supporting sustainable agriculture, and understanding future trends in the linseed oil industry.
