Lower over the period
Finland Mushroom Production per Capita moved from 0.228 Kilogram in 2015 to 0.190 Kilogram in 2024 (−16.4%), an average of −2% a year. The series high was 0.245 Kilogram in 2016 and the low 0.183 Kilogram in 2020.
What Finland Mushroom Production per Capita shows
Finland Mushroom Production per Capita was 0.190 Kilogram in 2024, down 0.3% on 2023. Finland mushroom production per capita between 2015 and 2024 shows a gradual declining trend, reflecting changes in domestic cultivation capacity, market conditions, and the overall scale of mushroom production within the agricultural sector. According to validated Our World in Data (FAOSTAT) data, per capita mushroom production declined from 227.75 grams in 2015 to 190.48 grams in 2024.
A 25.4% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2016) and low (2020) is 0.0621 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was −24.2% in 2020.
Ranks 25 of 32 countries covered
Among the 32 countries in this dataset, Finland ranks 25 for 2024, behind China (34.25 Kilogram) and Ireland (13.35 Kilogram). The global figure for 2024 is 6.32 Kilogram, so Finland is below it.

Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
The data includes the annual production of mushrooms reported under FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics, covering cultivated mushroom output measured by weight. The indicator includes country-level mushroom production values adjusted according to population size to calculate per capita production. The dataset captures changes in agricultural production capacity, cultivation practices, and output trends over time. It supports analysis of mushroom industry development, agricultural productivity, food supply trends, and comparisons between different countries and regions.
The data excludes mushroom consumption, imports, exports, and trade-related activities, as it measures only domestic production. It does not represent individual consumption levels, market availability, retail sales, or nutritional intake. The indicator does not include wild mushroom collection unless recorded within official agricultural production statistics. It also does not measure production value, revenue, cultivation costs, or farm-level productivity. Differences may occur due to variations in national reporting methods, estimation procedures, and statistical coverage used by FAOSTAT.
About this indicator
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
During the initial period, production remained relatively stable, increasing to 244.75 grams in 2016 before gradually decreasing to 239.32 grams in 2018. This period reflected steady consumer demand for mushrooms, supported by growing interest in nutritious food products and sustainable agricultural practices.
Between 2019 and 2021, Finland experienced a significant decline in mushroom production per capita, falling from 240.87 grams in 2019 to 182.65 grams in 2020 and 184.08 grams in 2021. The reduction was influenced by pandemic-related disruptions, lower foodservice demand, operational challenges, and adjustments in specialty crop production. Although controlled cultivation methods supported production continuity, output remained below previous levels.
From 2022 onward, production showed limited recovery but remained lower than the early years of the period. per capita production increased slightly to 192.12 grams in 2022 before stabilising at 191.03 grams in 2023 and 190.48 grams in 2024. This stable yet reduced output indicates a mature market influenced by domestic consumption patterns, production costs, and competition from imported mushrooms.
Overall, Finland’s mushroom production sector demonstrates a stable but modest position within Europe’s specialty agricultural landscape. Despite the decade-long decline, mushrooms continue to contribute to Finland’s food system through demand for healthy food options and sustainable cultivation practices. The indicator provides valuable insights for analysing production trends, evaluating agricultural productivity, comparing European markets, and understanding future developments in mushroom cultivation.
